I brought some roasted chick peas from a supermarket, but they were quite expensive, and I figure it wouldn't be too hard to figure out & cut the costs a bit.Anyone do this already!How do you do it!I will google this also. TIA

This what Google came up with for me:
Ingredients
1 (12 ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained 2 tablespoons olive oil salt (optional) garlic salt (optional) cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Blot chickpeas with a paper towel to dry them. In a bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil, and season to taste with salt, garlic salt, and cayenne pepper, if using. Spread on a baking sheet, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until browned and crunchy. Watch carefully the last few minutes to avoid burning.

Thanks elliehen, I found that one too.I will have to check if I have any canned chick peas, but I did buy some dried chick peas today-Im guessing I will need to cook them first somehow :)

def use the dried ones, sooo much cheaper, I get mine from the Indian spice place and you just soak them in water for a few hours then boil them till they are cooked, then drain and roast as above, they are so yummy

Thanks mattdylan, I agree about being way cheaper than the canned ones.how long roughly do they need to be boiled for! Thanks!

Chick peas are best soaked for 24 hours.Then drain, cover with fresh water and boil about 1 hour or until tender.Don't add salt until they are tender.

You can roll them in seasoned flour which makes them extra crispy.

Cumin, coriander, garlic , salt along with a good splosh of olive oil and really dry them out so they are crisp. Enjoy. Sometimes I also use a good dukkah mix.
