    Learning how to make Spicy Toasty Chickpeas can be a great way to UP your snack game AND/OR make your salads/wraps or stirfrys more nutritious AND tasty! They are crunchy, nutty and you can flavour them a million different ways, depending on your favourite herbs and spices.

    Beans are, of course, an important source of plant protein, as we're discussing in Episode 5 of In My Plant-Based Kitchen, but they are also loaded with FIBRE, and a good source of a number of vitamins and minerals, including calcium and iron. These little legumes are power-packed indeed.

    There are a number of ways you can make them, depending on the time and tools you have available - roasting them in the oven, toasting them in a toaster oven or on the stovetop, and even air frying them.

    Spicy Toasty Chickpeas

    Ingredients:

    • 1 can chickpeas, drained well

    • ½ tsp herbamare/table tasty/sea salt

    • 1 tsp chili powder

    • ½ tsp garlic powder

    • ½ tsp onion powder

    • ¼ tsp paprika

    • ½ tsp arrowroot powder

    • 1 tsp seasoned rice vinegar OR avocado oil (optional)

    Directions:

    1. Drain your chickpeas well (it’s important they are not too wet so they don't just steam when you cook them)

    2. Place the chickpeas in a medium-sized bowl and toss them carefully with rest of the ingredients until they are well coated. Use a little more seasoned rice vinegar if you need it to help the herbs stick, but don’t overdo the liquid.

    3. Preheat a medium skillet over med-high heat, and when it’s hot add the chickpeas and toast them until they are brown, crispy and delicious!

    4. Eat as a snack, or as a great topping for salads, grain bowls, in wraps or in a stirfry!

    Tip:

    • Switch up the spice mixes to find other combinations that you like! (e.g. try dill chickpeas with table tasty + dried dill, or an Italian mix with oregano, basil, marjoram and sea salt – or go Indian with curry, cumin and turmeric + sea salt)
