Roasted Chickpeas - A Quick & Healthy Snack

Chickpeas are good for so much more than just creamy homemade hummus. (Though, that's definitely a good use of them!) They also make for a particularly good salty snack, and are infinitely adaptable based on what you've got in your spice cabinet. 

We love this cumin/chili/oregano blend, but any of your favorite spices will do the trick. Be sure to follow our baking instructions closely, and your chickpeas will have the most satisfying crunch.  Later, potato chips.
