Guys, I think I’m onto a goodie here. If you’re anything like me and feel incomplete without a bowl of something to mindlessly nibble on whilst watching a movie then I have the perfect recipe for you. Such a cheap, simple and tasty recipe, and not to mention a nutritious one at that. Did you know chickpeas are a rich source of dietary fibre AND protein? Which means these crunchy little beans will actually satisfy you and you wont feel the need to eat a bucket load of it like we would with popcorn (which seems to be very easy to do, especially in the confinements of a dark cinema!) *A tip to help achieve extra crunch factor – make sure you pat dry the chickpeas before coating them with the spice and oil. Removing the excess water helps prevent them from going soggy.
What you’ll need:
2 cans chickpeas drained and rinsed well
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper (feel free to adjust this depending on how much spice you like/can tolerate)
1 tsp himalayan pink salt
1 tbsp melted coconut oil
What to do:
Preheat oven to 350f fan forced bake
Place all your ingredients into a large bowl and toss so the chickpeas are coated well
Lay chickpeas onto a lined baking tray
Bake for 40 minutes or until golden and crispy
Remove from the oven and allow to cool
Can be stored in an airtight container in a cool dry place for 2 days
