Roasted Chickpeas and Almonds

[achookwoman]

A light nibble to have with drinks before a meal. 
These can be baked in the oven but I cooked them in the Air Fryer.

170 tin of chickpeas , rinsed.  I use locally grown Victorian dried chickpeas that i boiled.
2 Tablespoons of natural Almonds, roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon of paprika
1/2 teaspoon of cumin
good pinch of chilli flakes
olive oil spray.

Place chickpeas on kitchen paper to soak up any moisture.  Change the paper if a lot of moisture come out of the peas.
Mix together all ingredients except oil
spread on baking tray , spray with oil, and bake in oven ,until the almonds are slightly brown. about 20 minutes at 160 o C
                                    or
bake in dish in AF,sprayed with oil,   shaking every 5 minutes until almonds are slightly brown. temp 200 for about 20 minutes.

this recipe is adapted from "The Worlds Best Diet".
As the visitors ate all the Chickpeas and Almonds,  (they were fascinated by the crispness of the Chickpeas) I couldn't  take a Photo.  I have 'borrowed' the one from the book.

Xmas Hamper is a good idea as they seem to remain crisp.  If you don't want nuts you could use pumpkin seeds.

Going to make some more today.  This time will use tinned Chickpeas, to see if there is any difference.

These were made with tinned Chickpeas. 220 grams when drained.
They took an extra 10 minutes in the AF.  They were larger and moister than the ones I cooked.
