A delicious and healthy snack that's rich in fibre and protein!
- 2 cups chickpeas cooked or canned, drained well
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- Black pepper to taste
- *Optional-2 teaspoons melted coconut oil (see notes)
- Preheat the oven to 400° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
- Add the chickpeas to a medium/large bowl. Put all the spices in a small bowl and mix together. 
- Spread the spices evenly over the chickpeas and toss until all chickpeas are coated in spices. 
- Transfer to the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and shake them around and return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn. 
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes! Enjoy as a snack, add them to a salad, put them in a wrap or on top of a baked potato! 
- If using coconut oil, drizzle the coconut oil over the chickpeas and then toss them with the spices. I've added this option for those who do enjoy oil and really want a crispier roasted pizza chickpea.
- Without oil, the chickpeas won’t get as crispy. Instead, they will be a little chewy, which I love!
- As these pizza chickpeas cool completely they will soften a little more. Keep them in a sealed container in the fridge.
