Crackin' Blackened Chickpeas

In a (hugely successful) attempt to channel our inner Mediterranean goddess palettes, the College Contessas popped open a few cans of chickpeas, turned on the Dawgs, and got to making some positively crackin' exotic and healthy (double win!) football viewing snacks. The result? Crunchy, delicious, and wonderfully addicting balls of goodness. We mean this. Even the rogue seasoning in the pan was simply delicious. 

Ingredients:

-2 Cans of Chickpeas 

-3 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar (just make sure each chickpea gets a bit of the balsalmic-y goodness)

-2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

-Cracked Black Pepper (your discretion)

-Dash of salt

What to Do:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
2. Open and drain chickpeas
3. Dry them.
4. Arrange chickpeas on cookie sheet, and with drizzle oil
5. Proceed to douse with balsamic and salt 'n peppa  
6. Place in oven, and bake for 30-40 minutes until crispy and golden! (a few towards the middle of the pan were crunchier than the rest, but hey!, embrace the crunch)
7. Eat and embrace your inner Mediterranean spirit
