The other night I desperately wanted a snack that wasn’t bad for me.  Okay, really I wanted to chow down on chocolate bars…but knew that I shouldn’t do that.  So I decided to whip up a snack that would be tasty but not bad for me.  I saw a couple of recipes on roasted chickpeas that I wanted to try here and here, but sadly I didn’t have the lime juice for the one and I just wasn’t feeling the other one’s sweet vibe at the time.  So I made my own.  And you know what?  I was really happy with it!

These chickpeas are super yummy on their own as a snack or even on a salad.  Give ‘em a try!

Roasted Curried Chickpeas:

• 2 cups of cooked and drained chickpeas
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 tsp. honey
• 1/2 tsp. chili powder
• 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. pepper
• 1 tsp. garlic salt
• 1 tsp. yellow curry powder

Combine all ingredients together and bake in a single layer on a baking sheet at 450F for 30 minutes.  Allow them to cool first before eating.
