Cajun Roasted Chickpeas

A very dear friend said to me over lunch “I love your twitter messages because everything always sounds so yum but I can’t eat most of it.”  He, like me, cannot eat a lot of the things most people consume every day.  He lives gluten free, dairy free and two other frees that I can’t recall right now.  Guess I am the bad friend, huh?  Anyway, today’s posting is for you O.  Enjoy.  O loves chickpeas

Ingredients:

1 can (15 oz.) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 1/2 tsp. Cajun seasoning

Preheat oven to 400.  In a medium bowl, toss the chickpeas with oil and seasoning.  Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.  Bake, shaking occasionally, until golden, about 35 minutes.  Let cool before serving.  cover and keep at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Eat these peas as you would pretzels or nuts.  It’s a nice change and very unexpected in the snack dish.  And besides, O loves chickpeas.  Get in your kitchen.
