These roasted chickpeas are one of my favorite things to make. I use them as a garnish in soups, in place of croutons in salads, or just eat them by the handful!

Ingredients:

2 lbs chickpeas, rinsed and drained

3/4 teaspoon dried oregano

3/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/3 teaspoon sea salt

3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit Mix all ingredients and place in a nonstick roasting pan. Cook for 1 hour, mixing the chickpeas every 20 minutes.
