Crispy Roasted Chickpeas with Moroccan Spices

this is a great mid-afternoon snack by itself or sprinkle them on a salad or add some nuts. i used garbanzo beans from my freezer i cooked earlier and tripled the recipe so i'd have extra on hand. kalyn says garbanzo beans are one of the world's healthiest foods--one of the highest protein levels in plants and also a low-glycemic food. roasted chickpeas are eaten in turkey as a snack called leblebi. this recipe came from kalyn's kitchen--the moroccan spice mix is from fine cooking magazine. kalyn keeps moroccan spice mix on hand to flavor veggies as well.
