This is a seriously good snack for anybody who likes
crunchy, salty, and crispy things. I admire all the people who roast their
chickpeas with exotic seasonings, but I like a simple approach. Oh, and these little beauties have a lot less
fat and much more protein and fiber than chips. Just sayin’.
Ingredients:
2 (15.5 ounce) cans garbanzo beans (chickpeas) drained and
rinsed.
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 Tablespoon steak seasoning (I like Montreal Steak or
Chicago Steak seasoning)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with
parchment paper or foil. Toss the drained chickpeas and olive oil together on
the baking sheet and sprinkle with the steak seasoning. Toss everything
together with your fingertips and bake for 1 hour (add an extra 15 minutes if
you want them really crunchy), stirring halfway through. Remove from the oven
and let cool for 10 minutes.
Just so you know, I am only posting calories, fat and fiber
information on here for myself. I always need to come back to what I am doing
and why. This helps me a great deal, so I hope you can bear with me when I say
that chickpeas (which I haven’t learned to like raw—yet) are kind of
nutritional powerhouses. A half cup of raw chickpeas has 120 calories, 2 grams
of fat and 6 grams of fiber.
