      Addictive!!! These were downright fabulous, Dancer! And quite nutritious if you eat it in moderation, which of course, I won't do ;-) I didn't have cayenne pepper so I used red chili powder, and I think it made it a tad spicier, but no complaints! I also used freshly ground coriander seeds, which added a lot of flavour. I baked for 35 minutes, which was about right, though a few got burnt... next time 30 minutes should suffice. What a wonderful, unique way to use chickpeas!

      Well, these are great! I strongly suggest that the various seasonings used in this recipe are made fresh, i.e., use of each freshly ground seasoning imparts a flavour of its own in this fantastic snack. I substituted the cayenne pepper with red chilli powder following Anu's review. Yes, this did make it a bit spicy, but for spice lovers, this is just great! I used 1 can of chickpeas to make this(it was equivalent to 2 cups). After washing and draining the chickpeas, I boiled them in plenty of water for 5-7 minutes. Then, I drained the water and dried the chickpeas on clean kitchen towels. (I like to boil the chickpeas when I'm using them out of a can because I find the chickpeas have a funny taste that I really don't like if I dont boil them). I tossed the dried chickpeas with the seasonings in a flat baking dish and baked the chickpeas at 200C for 30 minutes. These wonderful crispy treats will vanish off the serving bowl within seconds if served with some wine, IMHO:) Personally, I couldn't resist tasting the chickpeas when I'd tossed them with the seasonings, i.e., before baking them in the oven. I love them like that and for myself, I'll not be baking these, since, I loved the taste more when the chickpeas were just boiled and tossed with the seasonings than what they tasted like after being baked(That's just my taste buds talking) :)

      These are great. I used canned beans. I do think just a bit more flavor is needed. Garlic salt would be a nice addition. I have some lime flavored garlic salt that I intend to try next time.

      These are good, and a great alternative snack instead of junk food! Thanks for the recipe!

      I used canned chickpeas which I rinsed and drained. I had not read the review that suggested boiling, but will give that a try next time. (I, too, think that canned chickpeas have an odd flavor.) I did have to bake for about 45 minutes in order to crisp the chickpeas. This makes a nice snack and could easily be added to a savory trail mix.

      I have to agree with eclairkat's review - these really didn't work for me and I really wanted them to. The spices were just right, but my chickpeas were also soggy or hard and I was afraid to cook them any longer because the spices were beginning to burn. Sorry.

      This really didn't turn out for me. Either the chickpeas were soggy or too hard. I also thought there was way too much pepper on this. Thanks for the recipe, though.

      I made these as a healthy snack for myself but my healthy food hating hubby ate them all! Next time I'll make a bigger batch :) Thanks for such a great recipe!

      These came out too salty for me, and I didn't realize they would shrink so much! All together a nice idea but I didn't care for the spice mix.

      OMG these are good. I have switched up the spices and stuff depending on who will be eating them, but the first time I brought them out my husband said "oh my gosh I cannot believe the things you can do with food. This is fabulous." And it's healthy!!!!THANK YOU Dancer!

      This was great! I made it tonight to go along with some veggies and tofu...I omitted the coriander. The cumin was such a striking flavor. Really great, love the crunch...thanks!

      These were very tasty but I added more spices and overdid it a bit (my fault, not the recipe!) Next time I will add more salt and less spice. I loved the crunch of these healthy little snacks! Thank you for posting your recipe!

      I thought I was going to love these because I really like chickpeas in almost any incarnation. For some reason, these just didn't work out for me. I didn't like the texture of the dried peas at all. It was almost... gritty. The flavour was great though. Sorry this one just wasn't for me.
