Crispy Garlic Oregano Chickpea Snacks

Making nice healthy snacks is something I need to be good at, because in my house, snacking is what my furry friend likes to do (aka my husband).

Also, being able to come up with a snack out of things that I have just lying around my kitchen is important as well, since who honestly wants to run out to the store every time they are hungry? Not me. 

Here is a recipe for a nice, flavorful (must have), healthy little snack. They go great on salads, a stir-fry, as a side dish or just by themselves. 

Crispy Garlic Oregano Chickpeas

Preheat the oven to 375 F ,  line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Ingredients:

1 can chickpeas (drained, washed, and rinsed, then dried with a paper towel)

1 tbsp olive oil (or coconut or grapeseed, whatever type of oil you prefer)

1/2 tsp salt (remember I do not like that much salt, feel free to add more it you like)

1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp oregano

Directions:

Drain, wash and rinse the chickpeas, then towel dry. Next transfer them onto the aluminum lined baking sheet and spread out so that none are on top of each other. Then drizzle the oil over the chickpeas and roll them around on the sheet so that the oil covers all of them completely. And then all you have to do is sprinkle the different spices on top and roll them around some more so that the spices coat all the little chickpeas. Finally just pop them in the oven (on the middle rack) and bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until they are a nice dark golden brown color and the outside is crunchy and the inside is still chewy. 

Let stand for a few minutes to cool down before snacking. 

Enjoy! :)
