Snowy Day Snack- Spicy Chickpeas

Are you stuck inside during this miserable March snowstorm and afraid you will sabotage your diet with eating everything in your house? Well make some of these healthy, protein packed chickpeas. Kids stuck inside too? You can also make chickpeas for the kids.....see below! Drain and rinse 1 can of chickpeas and add to a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper and toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes at 450 degrees. Take them out and shake ‘em around before returning to the oven for another 15 minutes, or until the chickpeas are brown and crunchy. Just half a cup of these provides six grams of fiber and six grams of protein. For the kiddos......take the chickpeas and spray with vegetable cooking spray. Then sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar. So good!
