Spicy roasted Garbanzo /Chickpeas

Hello Friends !!!!
This oven roasted recipe with soaked Chickpeas/ Garbanzo beans is one of my favorite low calorie recipes and is perfect for an evening snack. Last time when I prepared this it was raining heavily and this spicy and tangy roasted chickpeas were apt for an evening snack with a movie.
For this easyyyy recipe you can use any type of beans or chickpeas. The seasoning for it can also be varied according to ones own taste buds...I wanted it spicy and a bit tangy and hence i used chat masala. You can also try  with garam masala.

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups dry chickpeas soaked overnight 
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp chat masala
• Salt to taste
• Chilly powder to taste
• Oil to spray

Method

Preheat oven to 400F.

Soak the chickpeas overnight and pressure cook until done. If using canned garbanzo, wash and strain them and directly add the seasonings.

To the cooked garbanzo add salt, red chilly powder, cumin powder, chat masala and toss them well so that the seasoning spreads evenly.

Spray a baking tray / sheet and spread the garbanzo in it. Bake in a 400F preheated oven for 40 – 50 minutes until the beans turn crunchy.

Remember that the beans get more crunchy on cooling. So remove from oven accordingly when are a bit soft and not wait for it to turn completely crunchy.

So simple and fast...isnt it??
