Spicy Roasted Chicpeas

With the festive season here and all the extra eating and celebrating we do, a healthy tasty snack is always welcome.  Even if you aren’t a chicpea fan, I urge you to try this easy recipe, the crispy light nutty result is well worth the time in the oven.  I would suggest doubling or even tripling this recipe and use any combination of spice you would prefer.

  2. I love roasted chickpeas but only discovered them a while ago while doing a kitchen experiment! Roasting them with spices take the chickpeas to a whole other level! These look just stunning & ever so tasty too, Mandy! xxx

    • Maybe we can enjoy a few of these over a glass of wine one day. 😀
      I am incredibly sensitive to animals and can’t watch a kill so hope I am able to help you with an answer about the lions.
      Have a beautiful day Kim. 🙂 xoxoxo

  4. Sorry I’m late – was too busy working out how to quadruple the recipe! I love these but never make them and I really should (and will!). They remind me of holidays in Italy as a child – on the beach sellers used to wander up and down selling honeyed nuts and spicy chickpeas (they are called ceci there – pronounced Chechi) to nibble on between sunbathing and swimming…happy days!
