Spicy Chickpea Nibbles - cooking recipe

Ingredients

9 ounces chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400.
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with greased foil. Spread chickpeas on a large plate and blot dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, salt, cayenne and oil. Add chickpeas and toss to coat.
Spread chickpeas in a single layer on prepared sheet. Bake for about 40 minutes, shaking the pan 2 or 3 times until chickpeas are golden brown and starting to crisp,.
Turn oven off and leave chickpeas in the oven for 10 - 20 minutes to crisp. (at this point, you really want to watch as they can burn quite easily) Remove from oven and let cool slightly on baking sheet.
