Roasted Spicy Chickpeas

Ever get that salt craving late at night?  Yep, me, too…. often!  No more diving into that salty bag of potato chips that I love so very much.  Give these a try instead!  These roasted chickpeas have been a life saver for me.  I use them on my salads to replace croutons and also add a bit of a crunch – almost like bacon bits without the bacon.  lol

We gave these a try with groups of students at our Fit Kids classes and they were a big hit!  My kids love them!!
