There's nothing quite as tasty or easy to make as roasted chickpeas. It's definitely a snack that we can get behind. A low-fat alternative to cocktail nuts, these spicy beans also taste great tossed into salads. Simply spread the chickpeas on a pan, sprinkle with garlic powder and a touch of red pepper flakes for some heat, and let them roast away in the oven until browned, which should take about 45 minutes. Be sure to keep checking on them at that mark in case you want them crispier or softer. You can store them in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and always have some on hand when a snack attack hits.
