How to Make Roasted Chickpea Snack
This roasted chickpea recipe is gluten free, dairy free, soy free, egg free, nut free and vegan.
Roasted chickpeas are the perfect snack. They’re crunchy, salty plus they’re loaded with protein. It’s always great to have a snack loaded with protein. Instead of just eating empty calories, these roasted chickpeas will actually fill you up and keep you full longer. I’m sure you’ve seen chickpea snacks in stores. They’re so easy to make though and it’ll save you a lot of money!
Roasted chickpeas can be flavored so many different ways. This chickpea recipe I’m sharing today is a zesty chili powder flavor. Not spicy, but very flavorful! Another benefit of these chickpeas is that they’re low in oil. Unlike most snacks, these chickpeas only have a tablespoon of coconut oil for a whole batch. So not only are they low in oil, but they only contain healthy oil.
This is another fun healthy gluten free snack you could make with your kids. There’s really only a couple steps to throw these together. The main step is mixing in seasoning and kids love mixing stuff! You can even let your kids help you pick out what seasonings to use.
