CHICKPEAS ROASTED RECIPE
CHICKPEAS QUICK RECIPE
This recipe is designed to be as quick as possible and let the oven do the rest. In fact, that’s why I used canned chickpeas to speed up the cooking time for this recipe; but, if you like to prepare the chickpeas from scratch you will need to soak the dried chickpeas in water (you can leave them overnight). Then, change the water and cook them for around 1 1/2 to 2hr or until they get soft and tender.
