I'm having a few friends over for drinks and I thought it might be fun to have a few snacks to go along with. I'm a snacker from the word go, so I'm always on the lookout for a snack with some health benefits to it. These are great with sangria and a nice change from nuts.
2 15 oz cans of chickpeas(garbonazos) rinsed and drained
3 slices of bacon, cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin, salt and pepper, red chili flakes
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Preheat oven to 400. In a small skillet, cook the bacon until just crisp. Drain off all the fat from the bacon, reserving 1 teaspoon. In a medium bowl mix together the chickpeas, bacon, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, red chili flakes, olive oil and reserved bacon drippings. Pour mixture onto a baking sheet lined with a silpat or parchment. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the chickpeas are crisp. Cool, pour into a small dish and serve.
