Roasted Chickpeas or Garbanzo Beans are a great alternative party snack. They are fairly inexpensive to make and quite a bit more nutritious than many snack foods.
Drain the liquid from a can of beans, heat some coconut oil on a baking sheet, and pour the drained beans onto the sheet. Sprinkle with spices, stir just a bit, and bake at 350 for 30 - 40 minutes. Beans should have a crisp coating. If they are not quite crisp, give them a few more minutes. Once they are cooled, you can store them in an airtight container. They are better fresh, though.
They will crisp a little faster if they are not crowded, so it is best to use only one can per one regular size baking sheet.
Suggested spices:
Salt
Ginger
Turmeric
Cumin
Powdered mustard
Dill weed
Chili powder
Breakthroughs happen when what is suddenly possible meets with what is desperately necessary.
