spicy chickpeas


I think Zooey Deschanel is pretty freaking cool to begin with. So I was pretty excited when I found this recipe on Epicurious and realized it was actually hers.

Not only did I love these (how can I not having been raised on hummus?), but Freddy liked them too! They make a fantastic good-for-you snack. I also attempted a deconstructed hummus version - with sesame oil, garlic powder, paprika, and a squeeze of lemon juice, but the spicy version is way more addicting. Enjoy!
