These are a hit when served hot to guests instead of packet nibbles.
Basicly anything goes as far as spice you use. I prefer curry powder but in this instance I used soy sauce and a teriyaki / garlic powder.

1 can chick peas, rinsed and well drained.
1 TBS. Olive oil
Spice of your choice
Salt if you spice of choice has no salt

Mix everything together and let marinate for 20 minutes.
Place on grease paper lined tray and bake at 180c for around 30 min or until well browned.

Enjoy

In the bowl for a bit

Spread out on a flat tray, Turn or roll them around a few times while roasting.

Ready to go,
Because they are served hot, Having then just soft in the centre seems to go down well.

If trees screamed when we cut them down, we wouldnt. If they screamed all the time, we would.

Sort of depends what spice you use mate, the closest I can suggest is a Middle Eastern version of Wasabi Peas but with more substance to the legume

In Israel they grow chick peas by the tonne, and pistachios, on the Kibbutz where I once lived and picked oranges and still stay at whenever I get back there they grow both.

Chick peas wind up in most everything for the daily faire, Humus of course, these, but as you probably know superb in soups and stews as well and in other dips.

I don't think I've ever seen un-roasted pistachios in Australia, might get them over east, tasty as they are they are even better fresh-roasted with sea salt

On the Kibbutz they often roast up a mess of chick peas and pistachios together over an open fire on what I think is an old hub cap, with chilies, tends to lead to an endless round of drinks and nibbles

Ive not done it but have read that better results come from cooking up the chick peas from scratch.

It probably is Smokey but cooking chick peas...

They really do take forever. Much as I love them I'd only been buying prepared humus until canned peas appeared.

That's why I hadn't done these in ages.

In Israel even the average household doesn't bother but you can buy them fresh-cooked easily enough there.

I've never tried pressure cooking them, might be an idea.
