BAKED CRISPY SMOKEY-CURRIED CHICKPEAS

Ingredients:
1 can of organic chickpeas
1-2 tbsps olive oil
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp pink salt

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven at 400F.

2. Rinse and drain a can of organic chickpeas thoroughly under cold water. Pat chickpeas very dry with a clean dishtowel or paper towels. Remove any chickpea skins that come off while drying.

3. Toss the chickpeas with 1-2 tbsps olive oil, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp curry powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp pink salt, and coat evenly.

4. Bake for 25-30 minutes tossing halfway through. Sprinkle chickpeas with more smoked paprika and toss well.

I love to pair this side with fluffy quinoa, pan-seared chipotle wild-caught shrimp, sautéed spinach, roasted brussels sprouts, and sautéed mushrooms!
