Crunchy Roasted Chickpea Recipe

I often get asked for healthy salty crunchy snack ideas. This crunchy roasted chickpea recipe are delicious snacks and so versatile. Adding different seasonings is one of the best parts of making roasted chickpeas because you have so many options. By the way if you didn’t already know chickpeas are also called garbanzo beans so you may see that on the label while shopping for them. Chickpeas is the main ingredient for hummus and tahini!

Chickpeas are a plant-based protein option for vegetarians and vegans. They are high fiber and a slower digesting carbohydrate source as well. If you eat more of a plant based diet, this is an awesome snack idea!

These salty crispy beans are awesome, affordable, and have minimal ingredients. What’s not to love? Chickpeas make an excellent addition to salads, soups, and curries! Try a meatless Monday or get creative!
