Roasted Crispy Chickpeas

Roasted chickpeas are a great healthy snack! They don’t contain a lot of fat or sodium but are still crispy and flavorful. Chickpeas are rich in protein, fiber, and other nutrients. Unlike many canned vegetables, canned chickpeas retain much of their nutritional value and are comparable to dried cooked versions.
