Move over Kind Bar.

Make room for a snack that’s easy to make and take.

I have an addiction. Its name, Spice Roasted Chickpea. Sounds cute but means business in the health and flavor department. I like that.

Protein/fiber packed chickpeas – a bowl without them, forget it. Soup or salad with croutons, not since roasted chickpeas. Zesty and fresh, they have the crunch I crave with the bonus of keeping me full.

A Few Key Tips When Making

Dry, dry, dry the cooked or rinsed and drained chickpeas.

Spray chickpeas with a light coat or drizzle of oil.

Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Season the last ten minutes of baking.

Ready, set, roast.
