• Spread chickpeas out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Roast for 15-20 minutes.
• Mix around on baking sheet and roast for additional 15-20 minutes, or until golden.
• Cool for 5-10 minutes.
• Enjoy!

KADAMI (LEBANESE ROASTED CHICK PEAS)

Steps:

• Rinse dry chick peas and cover with water. Allow to soak overnight or at least 8 hours. Drain peas.
• STOVETOP:
• Roast at medium low heat in a large skillet or home style coffee bean roaster, stirring constantly about 25 minutes for regular size chick peas, 15 to 20 minutes for the small ones.
• OVEN:.
• Spread in a single layer on a cookie sheet and roast about 30 minutes at 350 degrees F for regular size chick peas, 20 minutes for the small ones. MICROWAVE:
• Put on microwave safe dish in a single layer. Microwave on high (100 percent power). Depending on size of chick peas and your oven, microwaving takes 2 to 6 minutes. Taste to check for doneness.
• VARIATION:
• For flavored roasted chick pea snacks add salt or a small amount of any of the following mixtures to the hot roasted peas immediately upon removing them from heat. The flavoring liquid needs to absorb into, or dry onto the peas -- you don't want the peas sitting in pools of liquid. Toss frequently as they cool and serve immediately, or refrigerate for later use.

• Soy sauce alone or mixed with Oriental (dark) sesame oil and hot chili powder.
