Oo that sounds good. I tried roast chickpeas and they never went crisp so I'd love a new recipe.

I drizzled a bit of oil before chucking it in the oven and around 10 mins, I turn them over. Continue in the oven for another 10mins. Once they are golden brown - like @WuTwo sprinkle garlic powder, pepper salt some chilli powder. I didn't have any bbq or papika to give it more flavour. But it smells really good.
This is with a can of chick peas, chick peas that are dried take forever unless you soak them for a few hours.

I have chick peas roasting in the oven
BG doing much much better - very little spike from today's breakfast

That sounded so good I preheated the oven right away (takes about 15 minutes, my gas stove is at least 70 years old). And now I found out I don't have any chick peas

Oh no What was your plan B?

Turn off the oven.

@helensaramay I forgot to say that if it's cans of chick peas, make sure you drain it very well. That helps it with being crispy. Similar concept with tofu, it's quite wet out of the container, once you dry it off and drain it, it fries better.

@Antje77 I'll add it to your shopping list

I added it! In Dutch they are called kikkererwten, or frogs peas

Oh yes, I love the netherlands. I would indulge on dubbel friss and boerenkool

 

[MeiChanski]

D

I'm sure @MeiChanski will pop over with some of her chickpeas
Then @Knikki will turn up with his cake and you can have a par-tee.

@WuTwo is bringing her freezer stash to the party too.

Oh dear, I shouldn’t be laughing, but I am. Roasted peas, or quick, go dig up some potatoes?

HEY GUYS - PARTY AT @Antje77 'S - bring your own bottles!

To be fair, potatoes will do us nicely - my bf always enjoyed my potato wedges.

The netherlands has a lot of cows, if we're drunk enough to pick one and take home.

 

[WuTwo]

If it came to that, there's cows in a field not too far from me! Not that I think himself would be too chuffed to find a cow in the sitting room ......

I remember I had so much trouble finding chick peas in Albert Heijn, turns out the translation is frog peas.

My house is surrounded by potato fields, but they aren't ready yet The very few times I want to eat potatoes I steal them from my neighbours barn...

The Dutch do the best potatoes (sorry British potatoes)
Oh wow, so if we want any potatoes, we'll ask you?

I'm experienced with rams in my bathroom, so why not cows in the living room?

We used to take the sugar beet from the field by our house when I was seven, lucky I wasn’t diagnosed T1 til I was 20, it was delicious. We were hungry.
