Crispy Roasted Chickpeas
[Taco Style!]
preheat your oven to 400F
grab some garbanzos and rinse, drain, and pat dry
remove the chickpea skin that is prooobably already falling off your little nuggets already
lay flat on a baking sheet lined with a little bit of olive oil
season to taste with salt, pepper, cayenne, cumin, chili and garlic powder
set your timer for 30 minutes, toss em in the oven, and walk away =)
Serve them up taco-salad-style on a bed of greens with tomatoes, peppers, and all your favorite toppings [hellooooo guacamole!] or pile em high in a taco shell with creamy re-fried beans and crunchy veggies!
See? I told you this would be a quick one!
Today is one of my crazier days this week: spin class, grocery shopping, and flailing around zumba followed by dinner and a movie. *ahem* dinner and HUNGER GAMES!!!
Is anyone else nerding-out and seeing the movie tonight at midnight with me?
HUNGER GAMES!!!! So excited!! :-)
ReplyDeleteYum! I've been wanting to try roasted chickpeas and I LOVE any Mexi-inspired meals! That salad is going to be my lunch at work next week...and guac is a definite side :)
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the movie - let us know if you loved it! I'm hoping we can go maybe next weekend!
That looks SO good and I'm feeling mexican food today anyway. Ole!
ReplyDeleteYay!!! I'll keep you posted! <3
ReplyDeletei lovee this! Sounds so good :)
ReplyDeleteYUM!! I love some great chick peas! I'm still reading Hunger Games or else I would be right there with you at midnight! Enjoy your crazy busy day, chicka pea!
ReplyDeleteThese chickpeas look so very delicious. I haven't yet tried them outside of hummus, but I think taco style would definitely be to my liking.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your movie and dinner!
I have made these for chickpea tacos before, so good!
ReplyDeleteLove this recipe and I just so happen to have some chickpeas that need to be used!
ReplyDeleteAhhh Hunger Games! I am just finishing up the last book of the series (s0 good!) and then will see the movie :)
If I can find someone to go with me at midnight I will!!
ReplyDeleteLove love chickpeas and yes, in salads too. This looks too good to resist :-)
ReplyDeleteThis just might be a way to make my Hubs eat chickpeas!! Yay! You are brilliant! Thank you :)
ReplyDeletePerfect!! I love roasted chickpeas. I make curried chickpeas to snack on all the time! But this is genius because I love making veggie taco salads! Would be a nice alternative to using Boca Meatless crumbles for a change :)
ReplyDeleteI am hoping that we can get tickets to go see the movie Saturday night. I hope the movie is as good as the book
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea this is!! I never thought to flavor chickpeas before
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe! These would be awesome paired with just about anything. Especially a taco salad! Yum!
ReplyDeleteYum! One of my favorite vegan restaurants actually has a chickpea taco dish that I've been dying to recreate. This sounds like the perfect recipe for it!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the movie! I can't wait to hear how you like it. (:
I fekking love chickpeas.
ReplyDeleteMmm. Chickpeas are so versatile. Who knew!?!
ReplyDeleteI've always thought of frying garbanzo beans but this sounds better!

I want to eat this right now!!!! that is a busy day, but a day with zumba is always a good day :) enjoy the movie!!!
ReplyDeleteI am heading to Kansas city tomorrow so no midnight movie for me :) And as excited I am that Hunger Games opens tomorrow I waiting to see it. This is one movie hubby and i agree on wanting to see and we will be going when the theatres are hopefully less crowded ;)
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to making this recipe. I am trying to eat primarily vegetarian with only the occasional meat, poultry or fish.
I used to do these ALL the time! Must make them again soon. I used garam masala and some other spices... I think really similar to yours. We need to have a chickpea roast off when we hang out. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE zumba! I wish I was seeing hunger games, but sadly I have to work til 2am, so I'm going on Saturday! I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI really wish I was seeing the movie at midnight tonight! Think I could sneak out and be back before my kids even know?
ReplyDeleteI freaking love chick peas!
ReplyDeleteYUM! I made recipe similar to this but I didn't serve it taco-salad style... what a great idea though! :)
ReplyDeleteooooo, so delicious!!! This is getting pinned right now :)
ReplyDeleteSo...I've never actually done the whole roasted chickpea thing. But I've been craving Mexican lately...so perhaps this weekend? :)
ReplyDeleteHot dang, these look good1
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love roasted chickpeas, but taco seasoning is a new one :)
ReplyDeleteGuacamole is one my favorite foods and chickpeas are my favorite bean. You have me drooling over here!
ReplyDeleteI recently adopted a love (read: obsession) for chickpeas! Def will be doing this one. And as you know I am a HG nerd. Can't wait until we can talk about it! :)
ReplyDeleteomg girl go see it stat!!!!! I need a HG gabfest! =)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun, terrific recipe! I am gonna have to break down and see this movie. Would you believe I have no idea what it's about?
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea for a fast (and too busy to think about it) lunch or dinner! Love this idea, and am so trying it this weekend.
ReplyDeleteyay!!!! hope you looove it!
ReplyDeleteQuick recipe, i love them because they save my time on busy days, thanks for a new one for my collection.
ReplyDeletemmmm that would rock!
