Crispy Roasted Chickpeas

"Spicy crispy roasted chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are nothing like dry roasted nuts though they may look similar. The dish of oven baked chickpeas with grilled peppers and chillies is a wholesome vegetarian lunch or dinner as chickpeas are an excellent source of protein and fibre. Think 'chickpeas' and you will most probably expect a recipe for hummus or falafel; a curry, a stew or a soup. My favourite chickpea dish is more like a bake than a stew. I like to keep them whole and make them crispy rather than saucy. Canned chickpeas are perfectly okay to use drained and rinsed. Just make sure you buy organic chickpeas - that does make a difference."
