Salt-N-Vinegar Roasted Chickpeas

Don’t ask how vegans get their protein because if you eat a good two handfuls of this awesome snack you will be full of more HEALTHY protein than that of a whopper from Wendys….:-)

Ingredients:

1 (15-ounce) can of chickpeas (rinse and drain them)

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

½ teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (white should work too)

Directions:

1.  Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the drained and rinsed chickpeas on a paper towel and pat dry.

2.  Place chickpeas on a baking sheet and drizzle them with the olive oil. Add the salt and freshly ground pepper, and toss until evenly distributed.

3.  Roast the chickpeas at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, and toss the chickpeas around.  Roast the chickpeas for an additional 10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy (but not too dry).

4.  Drizzle the chickpeas with the vinegar, toss, and pop them suckers back into the oven for another 30 seconds or so. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before snacking away.

LOVING FOOD IN PEACE…
