It's Recipe Redux time again and this month is all about spooky spices - you know the ones that haunt your pantry because you have no idea what to do with them. Well I have a few... Firstly there is some Turmeric, which I have had for a while and am really keen to use but, other than in curries, I'm really not sure what to do with it. Next, thanks to my beautiful Mum who loves to buy in bulk, I have a life times supply of cinnamon - this cinnamon is not only going to haunt my pantry but it will be haunting pantries for generations to come! So what to do with all these spooky spices?? - Mix them together, toss in some chickpeas and hope for the best... the result, a really tasty and healthy little snack - enjoy. Ingredients: 2 teaspoons ground Turmeric 2 teaspoons ground Cinnamon 1/2 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon honey 1 tablespoon olive oil 425g can chickpeas, rinsed and drained Method: Pre-heat and oven to 180 degrees (fan force is preferable).
Mix all ingredients together in a small mixing bowl until the chickpeas are well coated. Lightly spray a baking try with oil. Place the chickpeas in the baking tray and spread them out evenly. Place the tray in the pre-heated oven for about 30mins. Every 10mins remove the tray and toss the chickpeas to help them cook evenly. Once cooked remove from the oven and allow to cool, serve warm or cold. Store in an air tight container for several days.

Woah that is a lot of cinnamon! I had not thought to use turmeric in a sweet tasting dish.

It is seriously a lot of cinnamon, I have no idea how I am going to use it all! =) I have never used turmeric in a sweet dish either - these are kind of savoury sweet

Thanks Lydia, this batch disappeared pretty quick. My 5 year old was disappointed there was none left for his lunchbox. Guess i'll have to whip up some more

These are pretty tasty, but I'm not sure that I'd bump them onto the dessert menu just yet (need to tame my sweet tooth just a bit more for that), but definitely a tasty snack

These look so simple and delicious Nikki. I've been planning to roast chickpeas for the longest time yet never got around to it. I think it must be time to actually give them a go.

These look great. We have an abundance of chickpeas here (everyone loves hummus) but these will make a great change would never have thought to put all those ingredients together!
