(makes about 2 cups)

In a large bowl, soak overnight:
1 cup dried chickpeas
4-6 cups water

The next day, drain your chickpeas, then add to a pot with:
6-8 cups of water
1/2 tsp salt

Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours (check for doneness after 1 hour.)

When the chickpeas are cooked, drain (save the cooking liquid to use as a vegan eggwhite substitute!) and dry the chickpeas thoroughly on paper towels. Also discard any skins that came loose.

Spread the chickpeas on a cookie sheet and preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Add:

1-2 tbs oil
1/2 tsp salt
Any other spices you'd like

Toss to coat with the oil and salt, then put in the oven on the top rack and bake for 10 minutes. Give them a stir, check for crispiness, then bake for an additional 5-10 minutes (checking after 5) or until crispy.

Store in an open container (if you cover them with a lid, they'll get stale.)
