Chick peas only run about $.50 per can and the olive oil & spices you likely have on hand, so the bulk of the expense for this recipe is the fuel/electricity to bake them...how frugal is that - pow! Keep in mind that this is a high protein snack, so its great to serve if you have a vegetarian coming over, or a kid who doesn't like meat.
Open a can of chick peas into a strainer. Rinse and shake to remove excess moisture. Put peas onto a baking sheet lined with parcement paper and bake at 450 degrees for 30 minutes (uncovered).
While the chick peas are cooking, this is a great time to mix up the seasoning mix:
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 1/2 tsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Once the chick peas are done baking, remove and put them into a large bowl. Drizzle with ~ 2 tsp olive oil and then sprinkle with seasoning mix. Stir to ensure all peas get coated. Allow to cool and serve. Best eated on day prepared.
