Tonight I was looking for something to snack on, and I found 2 cans of chick peas in my cupboard but I didn't feel like making hummus so I went searching for an alternative. Let me tell you, WOW, these little buggers are DE-LISH.....give them a try you won't be sorry
Chickpeas are low in fat, a great source of zinc, folate and protein!! They are also very high in dietary fiber and hence a healthy source of carbohydrates for persons with insulin sensitivity or diabetes.
Roasted Chickpeas
1 can Chickpeas
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Salt
Basil
Parsley
Garlic Powder
(whatever spices you want really)
Rinse and drain chickpeas. Toss with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Spread on a cookie sheet
Bake at 400 for 45-50 minutes. Turning every 15 minutes. Watch them in the last 5 minutes so they don't burn. They turn into a nut-like little treat that is weight loss friendly
i must say that I tried the Roasted Chickpeas and they were very tasty. since surgery melissa has been trying all kinds of different foods and all have been great
