Just made two awesome snacks

Roasted chickpeas
Oven at 400
I took all the skins off a can of chickpeas. I dry roasted them for about 50 minutes total. I shook the pan every 10 minutes. Once they really started drying out and getting crispy I drizzled a very little bit of olive oil and sprinkled a good amount of salt, pepper and some cayenne pepper.

They came out super crispy with just the right amount of kick. They're easy to just grab a handful of. I'll make double the amount next time, but I wanted to try it out first.



Roasted Cauliflower
Oven at 400
I took a small head of cauliflower and cut it up into really small florets. Tossed them in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, generous amount of salt and a little garlic powder. Roasted for 35 minutes, shaking the pan every 10 minutes.

This was AMAZING!!! I could literally eat an entire head of cauliflower like this every day. In fact, I'm ready to make it again tomorrow since I already ate the whole batch. Chat Icon

Both sound great! Why did you take the skins off the chick peas?

In reading the reviews, it seemed as though some people had a hard time getting them to really dry out and someone suggested that peeling the outer layer helped crisp them up. I may try not peeling them next time to see if it really makes a difference. Because even though skinning them is easy, it's definitely time consuming.

My mother in law does this with chickpeas, but adds pistachios.

I do the cauliflower all the time; same for broccoli, brussel sprouts.

I'm so jealous that you guys have been roasting cauliflower and broccoli all this time! I can't believe it took me this long to prepare it this way. This may be a daily thing for me now. Lol
