Guilt-free Munchies

Roasted Chickpeas

A few years back my brother was on a salt bender, and devouring roasted peanuts way too much for his wife to accept. Anita put Jeff on a roasted chickpea option, and both were satisfied. Along the way, they learned how to roast their own – so simple! Cecis, Garbanzo Beans, Chickpeas – they’re all the same animal (uh, vegetable wink ). Incredibly cheap whether dried or canned, they are full of protein and fiber, low in calories, and a wonderful alternative to roasted nuts. Alton Brown’s recipe is delightfully illustrated by Cast Iron Therapy. It starts with dried, but you can easily pick up the recipe at the seasoning stage if you prefer to use canned. As far as flavor, we’re about in the middle of the road here. I’ve seen recipes with a lot of cayenne, and some simply with salt. Make with as much or as little heat to suit your liking, but make them! They’re definitely a good munch.
