WW Spicy Roasted Chickpeas

 


I've been meaning to do these for a LONG time and finally managed to get them done this week. Its a WW recipe but I have tweaked the method a little just to suit myself really. Perfect for sitting in front of the telly watching a film and at 0sp for the lot its pretty much guilt free

Lets stay strong guys

Ingredients 

1  400g tin of chickpeas

Spray oil

1 tsp Ground Cumin

1 tsp Paprika

Pinch of cayenne pepper

salt and black pepper to taste














Method 

Preheat the oven to 180deg C/160deg Cfan/ gas mark 4.
Empty the chickpeas into a sieve and rinse well under a running tap.
Dry thoroughly with kitchen roll (this will ensure that the chickpea snacks are crunchy when roasted). I noticed as I was drying the chickpeas that the skin was coming off some of them so I decided to remove the skin from them all. I was concerned that if the skins came off during the roasting process the flavour would be taken off with them. Its an optional step though.

Removing skin from chickpeas

Mix all of the other ingredients (except the spray oil) in a bowl (I had no ground cumin so had to use cumin seeds which I then ground in my mortar and pestle) and then add the chickpeas and mix well together.



Pour out onto a baking sheet lined with foil, spray with a little spray oil and roast in the oven for 45 minutes giving them a shake half way through.




The original recipe says to eat them warm but I don't feel that is necessary. Next time I do them I think I'll try different spices...not sure what yet but I'll update this post when I've done it

Enjoy
