ROASTED BUFFALO CHICKPEAS
Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Pour the chickpeas onto a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, chili powder and cumin and toss well to combine and evenly coat.
- Roast the chickpeas for 25 to 30 minutes, or until crisp and slightly firm, stirring about halfway through. If you'd like your chickpeas to be a little crunchier, add another 10 minutes onto the cooking time.
- In a small bowl, combine the cayenne pepper hot sauce and melted butter, if using, and toss with the roasted chickpeas.
