Chickpeas are ridiculously tasty in my opinion. Every so often I'll crack open a can and just start nibbling on the little guys, not paying any mind to the fact that I can't (and shouldn't) finish off the can in one sitting.
Here is something relatively quick and easy you can do for snack food for yourself or for a party. They're also good on top of ice cream or yogurt.
Ingredients:
1 can of chickpeas, rinsed and well drained
1 tbsp butter or olive oil*
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp cayene pepper
Directions:
Mix brown sugar and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Line a cookie pan with wax or parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Toss in chickpeas and stir the pan frequently until butter dissolves and chickpeas begin to brown. Immediately toss warm chickpeas into the brown sugar mixture and toss until chickpeas are evenly coated. Spread in an even layer on cookie sheet and let cool.
*Main difference here is flavor. Some people don't mind olive oil flavor in with their sweet stuff, personally I think it's pretty nasty.
