Spiced Chickpea Snack Mix

What a great week I had. Katie (my granddaughter) was home from college and I had the priviledge of spending time with her on Thursday. Today Carly ( another granddaughter) came to spend the morning with me. We had fun making vegan recipes. This is one of the recipes I made this afternoon in between ripping off wallpaper in a bedroom.

 

These are really good, and a very healthy snack.

 

Spiced Chickpea Snack Mix.

 

• Mix 2- 15 oz cans of Kuner Chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• 2 Tabelspoons EVOO
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika-(please make sure it's smoked)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
•  

Directions:

1. Mix well.
2. Bake in  a 425 degree oven, 25-30 minutes.
3. Put single layer on a baking sheet.

 

Notes from Verna's Kitchen.

1. I used honey in place of the sugar.
2.  I also used Siracha Sauce in place of the cayenne pepper.
3. Because of the extra liquid I had to bake them quite a bit longer. I was busy stripping off wallpaper, so I am not sure how long, but you want them crunchy.
4. Next time I would not use the Siracha Sauce, but instead use Mrs. Dashes Southwestern Chipolte Seasoning.
5. They could have been just a little spicier, but they are excellent.

Enjoy!!!
