Spicy roasted chickpeas

These roasted chickpeas are a great alternative to potato chips and make a wonderful addition to a platter. If you prefer your chickpeas to be extra crispy on the outside, then use a generous amount of olive oil to coat them and cook them for three extra minutes. It gives it more of a crunch, but it’s still creamy, bean goodness on the inside.
