Crunchy Chick Peas

May 31, 2012 in Recipes

Shy of being allergic to chickpeas (garbanzo beans) YOU MUST MAKE THESE NOW.  This is SUCH a great snack and the beans are really neutral in flavor, so you can dress them up as you please.  All you really need is a can of garbanzo beans, a colander, and a baking sheet.. and of course an oven.

This is also a great way to get in your daily fiber.  1 serving (1/4 of the recipe approximately) boasts 6 grams of dietary fiber!  As somebody who is gluten free, I really appreciate being able to find fiber dense snacks that aren’t full of additives.
