When I was little, my grandparents used to have "happy hour" at 5pm. The adults would usually have martini's and the kids got olives, or those little cocktail onions in a fancy glass (worked for me). Like a good Italian, rather than putting out peanuts or pretzels my grandmother used to put out "Cici's". Cici's were fried chickpeas, so they were crunchy and salty like nuts. Below I'm offering a more healthy, more flexible alternative. These are great on salads as well as perfect for snacking on.

Recipe Friday: Crunchy Chickpeas
Below is a modification of the recipe I first used from weightwatchers.com. That said you should feel free to get creative with your spices. Cumin is a great addition, as is smoked paprika.
2-3 spray(s) olive oil cooking spray
2 cup(s) canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
sea salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 450ºF. Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray (it's ok to foil line the pan too).
Spread chickpeas on baking sheet and sprinkle with spices; toss to coat.
Roast in oven, shaking pan about every 15 minutes, until browned and crunchy, about 35 minutes. Cool before serving.
