Roasted Chickpeas

Roasted chickpeas – with chili? The perfect snack. These are easy to make – and being a celiac, I use these as ‘croutons’ in caesar salads. They are so good! You won’t be able to stop snacking on them.
First, I use bagged chickpeas that I have to soak and cook first. They are better than canned, yet use what you have access to.
Second, the spice is important. Recently, when my in-laws were here they introduced us to The Silk Road Spice Merchant and they have the most beautiful spices. Don’t underestimate the power of a good spice.
