Roasted Chickpeas

I had always wanted to try this. Roasted Chickpeas ! You can find many recipes if you google it.

Here is my version:

Ingredients

1 can of chickpeas ( I used the unsalted version)

Sal)

Paprika

Directions

1. Pre heat the oven to 350F

2. Open and rinse the chickpeas until no bubble. Drain and season with salt and paprika

3. Roast in oven for about 1 hour or until crunchy

This is really a easy healthy snack. I would suggest double the quantity of chickpeas as they are gone in no time. Other seasonings which I would try next time- cayennes pepper, soya sauce, chinese five spice powder :)

Baked Tofu

I have a block of firm tofu in my fridge and have no idea what to do with it until a saw a recipe for baked tofu at the Wholefood website.

I modifed the recipe as follow:

Ingredient:

1 block firm tofu ( for those in Asia, use Tau Kwa)

Soya Sauce

Direction:

1. Cut the tofu into one inch cube

2. Marinate with soya sauce for one hour ( I marinated in the morning and baked it the evening when i get off from work)

3. Pre-heat oven at 350F

4. Bake tofu for 30 minutes. Take out and turn. And bake for another 30 minutes

(You can bake longer for a crispier tofu)

Baked tofu are good as snack or with salad or stirfry. This is the first time I am baking this.. and I am sure there will be many more times. They are really yummy. Enjoy
