Quick Protein Snack: Roasted Chickpeas

If you too are looking for quick, protein-filled snacks or want to take your salads up a notch, you have to try these delicious, roasted chickpeas. Almost ten years ago, I stumbled across this fool-proof “recipe” reading SELF magazine and it’s been in constant rotation ever since.

These chickpeas are such a great, protein boost after school/before endless activities and will definitely be crowd favorites – as evidenced by what’s remaining in the photo above after my kids enjoyed these 🙂 Bonus: they couldn’t be easier to make and you probably already have everything you need in your pantry!
