Monday Meals: Healthy Oven Roasted Chickpeas

Many of us have a can of neglected chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans) in the pantry. Don’t let that delicious fiber and protein go to waste! Make yourself a quick and delicious snack that you can feel virtuous about. A bowl of hummus, the smooth and delicious mediterranian dip, is the classic chickpea vehicle. Check out our hummus roundup for the scoop on blending your own at home. But if you’re in the mood for something crunchy, nutty, warm and maybe spicy, oven-baked chick peas are the snack you have been waiting for.
