Roasted Chickpeas

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!
