Cooking is kind of crafty, right?!
Oven baked chick peas are full of yummy deliciousness, and a quick snack that I like to make every couple of weeks.

| The finished product! |
- canned chick peas (I use Bush's Best Reduced Sodium Garbanzos)
- olive oil
- any spices you want (I use garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and paprika)
Getting everything prepared:
- Start the oven preheating to 425 F.
- Drain and wash the chick peas.
- Lay paper towels on a baking sheet and put the drained chick peas on them. Pat them dry and trash the paper towels.
- Get ready to mix everything up! Use enough olive oil to coat the chick peas, but not enough to drench them. Add your spices to taste. Then mix! I just use my fingers because it's easiest but you could be more professional and use an actual kitchen utensil lol
- Spread the chick peas into a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Once the oven is heated up put the baking sheet on the middle rack and cook for 20 minutes. NOTE: The chickpeas will 'explode' like popcorn. Some will fly off the sheet and land at the bottom of the oven. Don't worry if you hear exploding noises :)
- Stir them around and re-spread into a single layer.
- Cook for another 15-20 minutes (depending on how crispy you want them).
Let them cool off a little bit then start eating and enjoy!
I always eat them all in one day but I've heard that you can also store them overnight in an airtight container.
