If you’re looking for a healthy and flavorful snack, look no further than these roasted chickpeas! They’re easy to make and packed with protein and fiber. Plus, they’re a great alternative to traditional potato chips or other processed snacks.

To start, you’ll need a can of chickpeas, some olive oil, and a few spices. I like to use a combination of salt, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper for a little kick. If you don’t like spicy foods, you can skip the cayenne pepper or use less of it.

Once you’ve mixed up the spices and coated the chickpeas, it’s time to roast them in the oven. Be sure to spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet so they cook evenly. And don’t forget to shake the pan every 10 minutes to prevent burning and ensure that they’re crispy all over.

When they’re done, let them cool for a few minutes before digging in. They’re delicious on their own as a snack, but you can also add them to salads, soups, or grain bowls for extra crunch and flavor.

Overall, these roasted chickpeas are a great way to satisfy your cravings for something salty and crunchy without sacrificing your health. Give them a try and see for yourself!
