This Best Roasted Chickpeas with Curry and Garam Masala recipe is made from scratch. I just open my kitchen cupboard to see what spices I liked and mixed and matched. For this recipe I chose dried chickpeas, olive oil, curry powder, garam masala, sea salt and black pepper. They turned out very deliciously good! The chickpeas are spicy and crispy! Great for snacking! And a very healthy snack!
