Oven Baked Crispy Spiced Chickpeas

Oven Baked Crispy Spiced Beans

These are excellent healthy snacks. You may have come across something similar in Asia, or in Asian shops. Those are usually deep fried. The oven baked version is almost as good, I would say about 70-80% as good. 

The main downside of the oven baked version is that they take a lot longer to cook compared with deep frying. 

I used chickpeas and white beans. You can use pretty much any kind of bean.

Ingredients

Cooked beans (chickpeas, white beans etc)

Enough oil to coat (about 1 tablespoon per cup)

Salt

Spices (paprika, curry powder, garlic powder etc)

Directions

1.  Preheat oven to 230 degrees

2.   Mix the beans with oil until coated

3.   Bake until they are brown and crispy, around 30-40 minutes. Stir occasionally 

4.   Season the beans and bake for a further few minutes. Over season the beans, you will be surprised how much salt they take

5.   Let it cool completely. These snacks go well with a cold beer
