Chipotle Roasted Chickpeas in a Jar

Ingredients

• 2 cups chickpeas, cooked...or 1 (15 oz) can garbanzo beans (aka chickpeas), drained and rinsed
• 1 tablespoon sesame or olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• salt to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Place ingredients in a small/medium size bowl and combine well. Place in a single layer on a roasting pan or rimmed cookie sheet. Bake for about 40-50 minutes mixing them around every 15 minutes or so until chickpeas have a nice roasted look and are crispy. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. 

Feel free add extra spice if you like a little spicier. Also, mix up the spices using whatever you like such as chili powder, cayenne pepper, cumin, curry, thyme, smoked paprika, vinegar & salt, cinnamon, sriracha, lime, garam masala, salt & cracked pepper, lemon pepper, nutritional yeast, etc...

Keep your jarred chickpeas crunchy by adding some rice to bottom of your jar or container. They seem to soften up a bit once sealed away, the rice will help soak up extra moisture to keep them crunchy. You can also keep them in a container that let's air flow through so they can keep their crunch and be sure to eat within a few days.

However you spice them...Enjoy!
