About this roasted chickpeas recipe

Snacks are a complex part of our diet. They're delicious and often make us feel spoiled, but most of the snacks we get at the supermarket or kiosk are made of. They're not usually the most nutritious food.

The advantage of making them at home is that we can measure them much more efficiently. Plus, chickpeas, in particular, are a great option.

It's an ideal snack to have for those moments when we feel like snacking, and instead of having to go to the kiosk to buy something that might not be so good to eat, we can have a little jar of these delicious and healthy homemade snacks.

We can also prepare them to serve at a party or children's birthday party. They're a great substitute for chips or salty sticks.

If you like this healthy snack option, here's another recipe, this time for sweet potato chips , which are also a great option to keep in mind when you want to snack.

Step by step for this roasted chickpeas recipe

homemade, healthy and addictive snack!

1. If you're using canned chickpeas, the first step is to wash them under running water. If you used pre-hydrated and then cooked chickpeas, this isn't necessary.

2. Next, we'll place the chickpeas on a cloth or dishcloth and let them sit there for a while. The cloth will act as a strainer to help them lose moisture. Then we'll remove them and wring them out thoroughly.

3. Next, season the chickpeas with your chosen seasoning option (I highly recommend all three options) and mix until they are evenly coated in the seasoning.

4. Finally, place them in a baking dish, well separated from each other, if you choose to use all the seasoning options. Bake over medium heat for 40 minutes. Be patient, they need to dry well. Stir them occasionally. You can taste them; the idea is to remove them when they're crispy.

5. When they are ready, we will take them out of the oven and let them cool and then serve. Believe me, they will not last even a minute!
