Chickpea Poppers

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
2. 2
   Pat the chickpeas dry with a clean dish towel or a few paper towels.
3. 3
   Toss the chickpeas on the baking sheet with the olive oil and salt.
4. 4
   Bake the chickpeas until they have turned golden brown and shrink slightly, 35 to 40 minutes.
5. 5
   They will harden slightly and crisp up as they cool, so do not overbake them or they will get too tough and hard.
6. 6
   Taste for seasoning, adding more salt as necessary.
7. 7
   Serve the chickpeas warm or at room temperature.
