roasted chickpeas.

Been craving flavor? Maybe a dash of salt? But want a healthier version of corn nuts? of potato chips? Or your other favorite snack?
Try these and you may have a new alternative, roasted chickpeas. These are easy and delicious. You get to choose the flavor you want and make it yourself. 
 

[makes 5 servings]
- 1 15 ounce can low sodium garbanzo beans 
- 1/2 Tbsp olive oil 
- Cajun Seasoning 


 



Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Open your can of garbanzo beans, rinse and pat dry. If not completely dry, they will be soggy when cooked. Lightly toss the dry beans with 1/2 tbsp of olive oil. Put on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with 1 Tbsp favorite seasoning, I used cajun. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until crunchy.
