Roasted Chickpeas from Scratch

Delicious tossed on a salad for some added crunch, topped on your favorite soup or just to snack on by the handful!
 

2 cups chickpeas, raw
Water
Salt & Pepper
Olive Oil
Any spices you like
(I use a mix of garlic and lemon infused olive oils, kosher or sea salt and pepper)

Place chickpeas in a large bowl.  Cover chickpeas with cold water and let them soak overnight.  The next day, rinse them and drain well.  Pat them dry and set aside in large bowl.  Drizzle about 2 tbsps. of olive oil, salt, pepper and any spices you like.  Toss around to evenly coat all chickpeas.  Spread them out evenly in a single layer on a large cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees F.  for about an hour (tossing every 10 min or so to ensure each chickpea is evenly baked and crisp).  Bake longer or shorter depending on how crunchy and golden you prefer them.
