Spiced Chickpea Nuts

When roasted in a hot oven, chickpeas become super crunchy. They're a great low-fat substitute for nuts when salty cravings hit.

Ingredients

• 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
• ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 450 degrees F.

2. Blot chickpeas dry and toss in a bowl with oil, cumin, marjoram, allspice and salt. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring once or twice, until browned and crunchy, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes.
