Roasted Chickpeas

For our cooking project this week we roasted chickpeas for a healthy snack. We made two batches. One was seasoned with cumin and the other was seasoned with cinnamon. When I opened the cans of chickpeas, Samah immediately recognized them as chana, the Indian word for them. Here are the results of our taste test:

Tabrezia liked both flavors equally.

Katie liked the cinnamon flavored ones.

Samah liked the cinnamon flavored ones as well.
