If I could just give up that late night snacking, I’d be 10 pounds lighter! Sound familiar? I’ve already given up cocktails for Lent, so I really do need something to look forward too at the end of the day. Spiced roasted chickpeas satisfy that desire for something crunchy, yet don’t leave you riddled with guilt. High in protein and fiber, low in fat and easy to make. Just toss with a little olive oil and some spices, then roast until crispy.
