I love Garlic Roasted Chickpeas so much that I want everyone to try them! They are such a healthy little snack – a great alternative to chips or pretzels. They are crispy on the outside and soft & chewy on the inside. I like them best warm from the oven but they are just as good the next day.
I like my roasted chickpeas with olive oil, salt & pepper, garlic powder, and a little cayenne for spice. You can spice these any which way, though. That’s the beauty of them! You could probably even use cinnamon and sugar to make them a little sweet. I haven’t tried them like that, but I might have to! Definitely give these a try the next time you are looking for an easy snack!
