During a conversation with another mom about how to get more protein and iron into Kidster we got onto the subject about 'roasted chickpeas'. I've never heard of this and was intrigued! I followed the link to this lovely recipe: Sally's Baking Addiction - Roasted Chickpeas
The recipe is how to make sweet cinnamon flavored roasted chickpeas. Hubster and I are doing such a good job losing weight I didn't want to make them sweet. So I used salt and pepper and Italian seasonings instead. They are delicious! Super crunchy and 1/4c is only 86 calories! I measured out 1/4c and kept them in a container close at hand and munched on them when I was feeling 'snacky'.
I learned a valuable lesson with this though, do NOT use a Silpat. They are the most crunchy when baked on a regular cookie sheet. Go figure.
I didn't take enough pictures of the 'process' but this should delight your senses!
