    Long Pin for Curried Roasted Chickpeas

    These Curried Roasted Chickpeas are a great snack that is so delicious you won't believe they are healthy. The perfect healthy crunchy snack!

     

    Beans were not a big thing in our house when I was growing up.

    That is odd to me since my Mom was always looking to save money and beans are one of the most economical proteins out there.

    I had my first garbanzo bean at the Rax Roast Beef salad bar at some point in the 80's.

    I think I was about twelve.

    (I just dated myself, didn't I?)

    It was love at first bite.

    In fact, I would have to say that garbanzo beans and alfalfa sprouts - two foods never served in our home - were the biggest reasons I always ordered the salad bar from that point on.

    (Even when a burger was an option.)

    It wasn't because I was trying to be healthy.

    In fact, I smothered them both with ridiculous amounts of Ranch Dressing.

    Still, looking back I should have known that healthier food was going to be a big part of my life.

    Today, I routinely eat chickpeas in wraps and on salads.

    Roasted chickpeas have become one of my favorite snacks.

    I was so excited the first time I saw them in stores.

    Although buying them is convenient, I love to make them when I have time.

    In addition to being fabulous as a snack, roasted chickpeas are also an excellent way to jazz up a salad! I've even used them as a crunchy topping on tacos. (Though these Curried Roasted Chickpeas are probably not the best flavor profile for that.)

      How does roasting a chick pea change it?, Does it make it change the texture or flavor? I am a Southern girl, I love boiled peanuts, not everyone is a fan. There is a big difference between boiled and roasted peanuts. I have never been a fan of chick peas, canned, salad bar or in soup. Before I buy some chick peas and roast them, would this change my mind?

        I think it is the kind of thing you have to try and see for yourself. I'm a Southern girl too and love boiled peanuts. i would say the texture change isn't quite as significant as with peanuts, but because you are seasoning them the taste change is huge.

      I love chickpeas. My favorite way to eat them is in salad, and I love roasted ones like this instead of croutons.
