Crunchy Roasted Chickpeas

This is one of the only addicting and satisfying snacks I never feel guilty about indulging in!

Roasted chickpeas are a snack-time game changer! They’re so simple to make, and they taste like better, healthier corn nuts! Chickpeas are packed with protein, fiber, and iron, so if you’re concerned about not getting enough of those, snacking on roasted chickpeas throughout the day might become your new favorite hobby. They’re also a great source of choline and magnesium, which can support healthy brain function by way of nerve health. Oh, and did I mention they’re DELICIOUS? I wish I could attach an audio file to this post so you could hear just how perfectly crunchy these chickpeas are, but I don’t think anyone really wants to listen to that!

Ingredients:

• 1 can (15 oz) reduced-sodium chickpeas
• 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 tsp ground sea salt
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Method:

• Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F/230 degrees C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Gently pat dry.
• Combine chickpeas, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

• Spread the chickpeas out in a single layer on the baking sheet.

• Bake for 20-25 minutes, gently shaking the baking sheet halfway through, until done to your liking.
• Serve in salads, trail mixes, or just pop them right into your mouth! Enjoy & share.
