Method

Heat the oven to 200°C. Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then roll them in a clean tea towel until they are properly dry.
Roast them plain on a tray for twenty minutes, shaking once.
Toss with the oil, spices and salt and return to the oven for ten minutes, until they are crunchy all the way through.

Worth knowing

Spices go on at the end. Added at the start they burn over thirty minutes and the chickpeas taste of ash.
Protein is 8 g, which is modest for a savoury snack. They are here for the crunch, and they stay crisp in a jar for a day.
