Reviews
Instead of nonstick I used cast iron and it worked great. My son loves these!
Simplicity speaks louder than words. I made this for a luncheon at local high school. I repeatedly heard many teens and parents say how much they enjoyed the dish. At home, I have re-made this recipe and added a bit of tabasco,etc. Great texture. Annie , Fremont , CA
This was a fast easy & affordable recipe & soooo delicious! I made sure to dry the chichi beans well in a cloth towel as suggested, & roasted them on med-high heat, instead of medium heat, till golden brown. Great , even without the cheese! This is a great crunchy alternative to high-fat crunchy snacks, will satisfy late-night cravings!
I have to agree with BJ, this is abuse of the chickpea, I don’t see how anyone could possibly rate this more than one star.
These chick peas are so good, they’re addictive!! My kids loved chick peas for the first time. Even their friends who are very picky eaters loved them!
You have to make sure the chick peas are very dry before you put them in the pan to toast otherwise they come out mushy. If you tried this recipe and the chick peas were mushy, be sure to try again.
I tried adding garlic salt, onion salt, and cumin (on 3 different batches) and all of the batches tasted fantastic.
Thank you, Rachael!!
I thought this was a great easy, healthy snack! I love chick peas and wanted to find more I could use them for. Mission accomplished! This recipe is a great start, and it’s something you can build from. Like others have mentioned before me, you can add any type of flavor you like to this and it would be tasty! Thanks Rachel!
no more to be said
When you describe something as toasted it better be crunchy. These poor things have been sitting in that pan for about a half hour and they are nothing but mushy. Perhaps I will try and finish them off in the oven.
I guess I was expecting these to have a better taste and texture. They were bland and mushy.
I thought this dish was a great side dish to my stuffed flounder. Even my children liked this recipe.
