Method:

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C Fan/400°F/Gas Mark 6. Put chickpeas into baking tray, add all other ingredients and mix together well. You can mix these together in a bowl, first, but I am trying to reduce the washing up! Place in the oven for 40-45 minutes, until the chickpeas are golden and crispy.
