Indian-spiced crunchy chickpea snack

This super-easy crunchy, savory snack includes traditional Indian spices like curry powder and cumin to create a wonderful mid-afternoon pick-me-up. Canned chickpeas make this simple, but you need to dry them as thoroughly as possible for maximum crunchiness. A quick way to remove excess liquid is to rub them between two clean dishtowels. One thing to note: Oven-baked chickpeas do not stay as crispy once cool as deep-fried chickpeas do, so this version is best eaten shortly after they come out of the oven. After the chickpeas cool, they are a delicious, more chewy snack with a heightened nutty flavor.
