Crunchy Roasted Chickpeas

I love these chickpeas as a snack or tossed onto a big crisp salad...

Crunchy Roasted Chickpeas
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed, then drained really well and laid out on a paper towel so they are dry
2 tsp olive oil
1 tsp spice mix (I use za'atar usually but you can use fajita spice mix, creole spice mix, etc.)
1/4  -1/2 tsp sea salt

While chickpeas are draining, combine oil and spices with salt in a bowl.
Add chickpeas and toss them in a bowl to coat.
Spread out on a parchment lined cookie sheet
Bake for 30 minutes at 400
Then keep the oven on and take chickpeas out of the oven to cool for 10 minutes
Bake another 10-15 minutes at 400
Allow to cool before eating

A smoothie with frozen peaches or mango, carrot juice and lots of ginger really brightens up the morning! 2. Maesri Red Curry Paste  - follow the directions on the can, adding coconut milk to make a simple curry sauce than can be used for vegetables, tofu or rice. This red curry paste is gluten free, Maesri also makes a Yellow Curry Paste that is tasty but not gluten free. 3. Brown Rice Vermicelli  - use the Mamy instant brand available at Stop & Shop or another instant whole grain brown rice noodle because it cooks in 2-3 minutes and then toss the noodles with soy sauce, curry sauce or use in your favorite spring roll or stir fry. 4.
