Garlic Parmesan Roasted Chickpeas

There have been so many different Roasted Chickpeas recipes on the web lately and I had to see what all the hype was about and make some myself.

What I’ve found is that Chickpeas are a simple snack to make and they’re a great way to sneak fiber into your diet. Plus, you can make several different flavors to satisfy your cravings. This recipe is a Garlic Parmesan Roasted Chickpeas that’s a salty delicious flavor.

I’m really glad I tried these little snacks, they kind of remind me of a cross between a nut and the old maid in popcorn, do you know what I’m talking about?  The piece that didn’t pop fully and has a partial seed on it that’s crunch and yummy.  I’m can’t wait to make different flavor variation of roasted chickpeas.
