SO HOW'D IT GO?
I agree with everyone else, these were great. Soooo quick and easy and yet another thing I would have never thought to do myself. My dad liked them too, he said, "I could put a bowl of these out instead of chips like at a superbowl party... I could eat a whole bowl by myself," to which I replied, "that's almost exactly what the recipe author wrote!"
I didn't have any "cajun" spice, I just used some smoked paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper. Baked them in my toaster oven and they only took about 20 minutes total. I did only use about 1/3 of a can of chickpeas, though.
Thanks!
This was a nice snack! I used 1/2 tsp of garam masala with a tbs of chili powder and a sprinkling of black pepper. I took them out of the oven when they started popping (perhaps the heat was up too high) and they crisped up a bit as they cooled. They were soft on the inside and somewhat crispy on the outside. My husband and I couldn't stop eating them. They were all gone in about 10 minutes... Next time I'll have to make a double batch. I suspect the secret to this is to leave them in the oven for a long period of time at a lower temperature. My oven was at 220 Celsius.. Next time I think I'll try 150 Celsius and see what happens....
I FINALLY made this tonight and I was not disappointed! I baked the chickpeas closer to 40 minutes so they were extra crispy. They are an absolutly wonderful snack!!
This is a great snack recipe. I used just under 2 Tbl of olive oil, plus a little bit of sesame oil, then added finely chopped cilantro and a little curry powder. Very good.
big . . . scratch that . . . HUGE hit with the family.
I used different seasoning (see spicy fries http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=11113). Great snack, sure to taste fantastic with any variety of spice or herbs. Thanks for sharing this easy snack food!
I loved these! Like a lot of other people i had to cook mine for about an hour though..
and i didnt add any salt.
my chickpeas are in the oven but they are popping and exploding quite a bit, have i done something wrong?
I didn't have time to cook these to total crunchiness, but they did get to this really nice crispness on the outside while staying soft inside that reminded me of seasoned fries :)
these were really good. i only used 1 tbsp olive oil (which seemed like enough), and an italian spice blend instead of the others since im not a huge fan of hot & spicy stuff. they definitely need to bake for at least 40 minutes to get even a little crispy it seems though. i ate them all from the pan while they were still toasty warm.
YumYumYum!! :D These are a tasty, spicy snack. Next time I will make more so there will be some left over.
