A Healthy Alternative to Snacking
Crunchy Chickpeas

Apparently I missed the crunchy chickpea train. They were all the rage in the food blog world about 3 years ago. Behind the trend or not, this is a snack that should be in everyone’s repertoire. You can try these with a variety of dried spices, I have even seen recipes for sweet crunchy chickpeas.
Keep in mind these are beans, so although they are additively crunchy you don’t want to eat the whole batch. You have been warned.
