What has 16% of your daily fiber intake? What has 6 grams of fiber? What has vitamin C and iron?
You guessed it my friends. One serving of chick peas (about 1/2 cup).
Ever since I was introduced to home made hummus, chick peas have been a staple food. You can do so many things with them! Let me share with you my favorite snack of all time:
Roasted Chick Peas
1 can of chick peas (drained and rinsed)
1.5 table spoons of olive oil
Spices to taste (I usually throw in a dash of red pepper flakes, some onion powder, paprika, and garlic salt- but you can be creative here)
Preheat oven to 450.
1. In a bowl, toss ingredients so the chick peas are covered in oil and you can see a nice dusting of spices
2. Pour chickpeas onto a baking sheet (any size that lets you have an even layer of chickpeas so they aren't on top of each other)
3. Set timer for 15 minutes and put the sheet into the oven
4. At timer, move around the chickpeas so they wont burn on the bottom
5. Set another timer for 15 minutes and put sheet back into oven, watching the last few minutes to make sure they are not burned, but browned and toasted
6. After hearing that timer, you are all set!
Take the chick peas out, let them cool, and you will have a crunchy and tasty snack! YUM!
