This crunchy, addictive snack is much higher in fibre and protein and lower in fat than potato chips. If you like things spicy, use a hot curry paste.

Ingredients

  • 2 cans  (each 19 oz/540 mL) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp  (30 mL)  canola or other vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp  (15 mL)  curry paste
  • 1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  salt

Preparation

Spread chickpeas in single layer on rimmed baking sheet; toast in centre of 400F (200C) oven, stirring once, until dry, 5 to 7 minutes. Let dry.

In bowl, toss chickpeas with oil, curry paste and salt. Return to oven; toast, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, about 1 hour. (Or, toast in 400F/200C convection oven for about 50 minutes.) Let cool in pan on rack. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.)
