  1 tsp or 2g

• Cayenne pepper

  Spices, red or cayenne

  1 tsp or 2g

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Place the chickpeas into a large bowl. Mix the spices and salt into the melted coconut oil. Pour the spiced oil over the chickpeas. Combine the chickpeas and spiced oil thoroughly, ensuring the chickpeas are well coated.
3. Spread the spiced chickpeas onto a baking tray. Roast for 35-40 minutes, stirring frequently. Watch the chickpeas carefully towards the end of the cooking time as they burn easily.
4. The chickpeas are ready when they are lightly browned and crispy. To test the chickpeas, remove one from the oven and allow to cool. If the chickpeas are still chewy rather than crispy, they need a little more time in the oven.
5. Allow the chickpeas to cool on the tray, then store in an airtight container.
