Roasted Chickpeas
By: Jenn Alberts
Looking for new healthier snacks? Jump on board with this one and give it a try. It’s very simple to make and it really curbs those salty snack cravings AND is a great source of fiber and protein so this snack will stick with you way longer then some chips. You can mix it up and try them with different seasonings like a ranch powder, curry, or kick up the heat and add more cayenne! These crunchy little chickpeas are amazing on the top of a salad (take out the croutons and add in the chickpeas). So have them on their own, top a salad, or get real crazy and add them to you pizza!
They are best the first day you make them but they stay good in the fridge a few days as well!
Step 1
Drain 1- 15oz can of chickpeas.
With a clean towel or paper towels gently dry chickpeas of excess water.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper *this is optional, they don’t stick to the pan, it’s mostly for easy clean up!
Step 3
Drizzle 1 Tablespoon of olive oil over chickpeas.
Season with your favorite seasonings.
Stir to coat chickpeas evenly with oil and spices
Step 4
Roast in oven for 20 min. Stirring once at the halfway point.
Step 5
Store in airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
