One of the best weeks of the year just passed: Shark Week.
It’s a great television event, because sharks are super cool. They like eating,
and I like eating! And sharks, much like myself, never say no to eating
something if it’s put in front of them. But sometimes that can just be
gluttonous. So here is a guilt-free recipe for roasted chickpeas. They are high
in protein, high in fiber, full of flavor, easy, and inexpensive. They make a
great alternative to potato chips, pretzels, and other carb-astrophic snacks
that tempt us during TV watching. Make a batch of these, turn on Discovery, and
have yourself a feeding frenzy!
Ingredients:
-
1 can of chickpeas
-
Olive oil (about two tablespoons)
-
Salt
-
Pepper
-
Cayenne
-
Garlic powder
Delicious roasted television snack! |
Next, roll the peas out on to a baking sheet. It helps if
you put tinfoil underneath because the oil and spices will be wreaking havoc
beneath the chickpeas. Let them roast in the oven for about forty minutes. You
can roast them longer if you want them to be really crunchy, or a bit less if
you want a soft centre. You’re all done! Serve them up and go crazy.
CHOMP CHOMP!
