15 oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 tsp lime or lemon juice
1 tbsp chili powder
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1) Rinse chickpeas under cold water, don’t dry completely.
2) Mix in a bowl with the remaining ingredients.
3) Pour onto a greased or lined baking sheet and bake at 400 for 20-40 minutes depending on how crispy you want them!
You can munch on these by themselves, put them in tacos, or make a taco salad! I opted for the taco salad, but really sky’s the limit.

So I just made my first attempt at kale chips… And they were SO GOOD that I ate them all and didn’t take any pictures. My bad. But they’re probably my new favorite snack, who knows, I might even make more tonight. Yeah, they were that good. So plenty of pictures to come. If you want to try them yourself though-
1) Rip kale leaves away from stem
2) Toss in a bowl with a little olive oil, salt and pepper
3) Lay them out on a baking sheet
4) Bake at 350 for 10 minutes
Simple, healthy and delicious. My three favorite things. Oh, and inexpensive.
