Ingredients

• 1 can of chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
• Olive Oil
• Flavourings – powdered paprika (curry powder etc.)
• Salt & Pepper

Instructions

• Pre heat oven to GM1 / 140C
• Pour a good glug of olive oil into a small pan and add a couple (to taste) of teaspoons of flavouring, heat stirring all the time until oil is hot and the spices are smelling strongly.
• Add and stir in the chick peas until they are coated.
• Pour coated chickpeas into a baking tray and put in oven.
• Take the tray out and give a good shake every 15 mins to prevent peas sticking.
• They are done when they are crunchy all the way through, the texture would have completely changed and they would have shrunk but about a third. Cooking times vary but will be between 1 to 1 ½ hours depending on size of chickpeas.
• Cool on a sheet of kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil and store in an airtight container when cool. They should keep at least a couple of weeks.

Notes

Do check them regularly as they go from slightly underdone to burnt with alarming rapidity.

Variations

I have a pot of powdered dried sun dried tomatoes that I want to use.

Wasabi powder would be lovely – I shall go and but some from the Japan Centre which has a wonderful supermarket in the basement and the best and cheapest sushi in London – I tried using wasabi paste but it would not mix in the oil.

Roasted pumpkin and squash seeds are delicious cooked the same way, it seems such a shame to through them away when cooking squashes etc. I read somewhere that pumpkin seeds are meant to act as an appetite suppressant, which is an added bonus for a healthy snack! You can also serve them alongside these Goodlife Veggie meals.
