Roasted Asian Chickpeas

Roasted Asian Chickpeas

Serving size: 1/2 cup
*Chickpeas can be used for a protein or a carb serving.*

Ingredients:

• 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas
• 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil
• 1/4 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 2 tsp tamari (or coconut aminos) sauce
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, will add heat)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Rinse chickpeas and pat dry. *This step is very important.* You want to make sure all the moisture is off the chickpeas so they can get crispy when cooking.
3. Once chickpeas are dry, add them to a medium bowl. Add oil and seasonings. Mix well.
4. Spread across a baking sheet. Cook in oven for about 10-15 minutes, then stir chickpeas around on baking sheet.
5. Cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy to your liking.
6. Remove pan from oven and remove chickpeas from baking sheet (they will continue to cook on the sheet). Enjoy!
