Chickpea Snackers - 20g Carbs, 4g Fiber
From: www.swansonvitamins.com
If you're looking for a healthier alternative to CornNuts for snacking,
or a better option than bacon bits for salad toppers then you must try
our Chickpea Snackers!
Crispy, crunchy and just a tiny bit spicy, this instant family-favorite
treat is sure to find a permanent place in your snack cupboard. And with
just 4 ingredients (and minimal prep mess), it's as easy to make as it
is fun to eat.
Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are low in calories and fat
but high in fiber. One serving alone provides about 20% of your
recommended daily value of natural dietary fiber. Chickpeas are
also a good source of protein, offering 7 grams per half-cup. The
spicy & savory flair comes from organic cumin and Himalayan crystal
salt, which lightly coat the chickpeas with the help of organic olive
oil.
The real trick to perfect Chickpea Snackers, however, is letting them
roast long enough in the oven, turning/shaking them often and then
allowing them to fully cool before you zip them up in a bag or seal
them off in a food storage container. No one wants a soggy Chickpea
Snacker!
1 (15.5 oz can) Eden Foods Garbanzo Beans (Chick Peas)
1 tsp Swanson Organic Cumin (Ground)
1 Tbsp Swanson Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Swanson Ultra Himalayan Crystal Salt
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Toss all ingredients together in a bowl. Pour onto a baking sheet
lined with aluminum foil. Bake until crunchy, about 45 minutes; check
on them frequently and stir or shake to ensure even roasting. Let
fully cool before covering to avoid losing the crunchy texture. Eat
as a snack or sprinkled on a salad.
