This is a great crunchy, salty, satisfying low-cal, high protein and fiber snack.

Pre-heat oven to 350

Drain and rinse 1, 15 oz can of chickpeas

1 Tbsp EVOO

2 tsp of sea salt or I subbed Pico Limon (heat + lime + salt)
<Also trialing 1 Tbsp EVOO + 1 Tbsp tamari>

Toss and place on a jelly roll sheet. Place on middle rack of oven giving the pan a shake. When the pan is shaken and it sounds like lumpy marbles rolling around, the peas are toasted about 40 -45 minutes.

I'm going to try this as soon as I get some chickpeas but I'm going to reduce the salt. I cut down on sodium and now when I taste something salted up, I can't eat it. I still use salt, just not very much of it.

Thanks for the idea. I'm going to make some for friends and family too.

I like the sound of your substitution, Mr. Green Jeans!

This sounds like a really good snack. With BEER!

Thanks!
