Here's a quick, spicy chickpea recipe that makes a great salad topping and a so-so snack; it's a lot easier on your teeth than baked chickpea snacks, which I find to be almost inedible (they tend to turn into tiny rocks).

In a skillet, heat olive oil on medium heat. When the oil is hot, add chickpeas--be sure that they are drained well, since water and hot oil definitely do not mix. Saute chickpeas for 10-15 minutes; obviously, the longer they're in the skillet, the crispier they will get, but it'll take about 15 minutes to get them "crispy". Once the chickpeas get near the doneness you desire, add salt, pepper, and spices. The spice combo in the recipe works well, but experiment with whatever spices you have--and don't be shy with the spices--spice really makes this recipe work, and a good deal of the spice you use will remain in the skillet when you remove the chickpeas. Saute chickpeas and spices another 2-3 minutes and then remove from the heat.Use them as a salad topping instead of croutons for a healthy crunch, or a tasty snack, something to nibble on besides potato chips.Enjoy!
