Author: Lemons & Anchovies

Recipe type: Snack

Cuisine: American

Serves: 2-4

Ingredients

• 2 15 ounce cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed, drained and dried thoroughly with a paper towel.
• 1 teaspoon butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon granulated garlic (garlic powder not garlic salt)
• Pinch salt
• 4½ tablespoons Frank's Red Hot Sauce (or your favorite hot sauce)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400℉ (if cooking with convection like I do, preheat to 375℉).
2. Combine the thoroughly drained and dried chickpeas and all the other ingredients in a large bowl. Toss to evenly coat the chickpeas.
3. Transfer the chickpeas to a baking pan and arrange in a single layer.
4. Bake for 40-45 minutes, tossing the chickpeas once or twice throughout the baking period. The hot sauce may cause the chickpeas to stick to the pan just a little. This won't be a problem. Just use a spatula to scrape them loose from the pan. The chickpeas won't fall apart.
5. Note: If you're baking with convection, you will need only bake them for about 30-32 minutes.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes. Transfer to a bowl and serve. Best when enjoyed right away.

Notes

* The drier the beans are the crunchier they will be after roasting so drain and pat them dry before roasting.

* Dried beans soaked overnight can be used, too.

* My chickpeas don't all come out of the oven crunchy but they're tasty anyway.
