I heard about these healthy vegan snacks on a Facebook page and set out to try them. Here are a variety of ingredients - process works the same. If you know of other ways to fix these, I'd love to hear. These are a high protein, high fiber, low fat snack - no sugar depending on the seasonings you use. I also like them on top of salads. I'll add variations to this page....I'm contemplating some ranch flavored Chickpeas.
Plain and Crunchy
2 C of chickpeas (1 can) rinsed, drained and patted dry
2 tsp. oil of choice
1/2 tsp salt - or to your taste

I'm going to try this. I can remember garbanzo beans when I was a child, but I can't remember what my mom did with them--in a salad, maybe?
ReplyDeleteBut we usually call them butt beans. They look like little butts. :D In fact, if I were to say "garbanzo," "chick peas," or "ceci beans," one of my kids would definitely clarify by asking, "Do you mean butt beans?"
I'm trying one
of these--at least one!

I can't wait to try one of these, it's just the choosing which one to start with!! Thanks for sharing. Wendy
ReplyDeleteI bake them until they are crunchy like corn nuts...and it takes a long time...because I like them better that way. LOL
ReplyDeleteMy husband likes the salty, onion, garlic one...he's not liked any of the others....may be a good one to start with. ::grin::
HI: I need to try them. Love all these kinds of beans. I must start eating right and high protein high fiber items are a must......... why cuz the fiber will carry away lots of the cholesterol. This month for the 1st time ever my arteries have a small bit of plaque...... Dr. B said my arteries are like a 60 yr old........ she also said time to watch things..... I AM NOT GOING TO END UP WITH BLOCKED ARTERIES. Anyway less sugar, salt, fat and all the good stuff will be good for me....but how boring. :):):):) gonna be careful cuz I like the idea of arteries that are only 60 yrs old. :):):):):) Wish my wrinkles we way back like they were when I really was 60. :):):) love/prayers - mom t.
