    Rosemary cumin roasted chickpeas are a crunchy and delicious snack or appetizer packed with fiber and plant-based protein.

    Rosemary Cumin Roasted Chickpeas make a delicious, crunchy, fiber-filled snack or appetizer. They're easy to make and very food allergy-friendly.

    Please tell me you've tried crispy, crunchy, roasted chickpeas before! They're the best appetizer/ snack ever! (They also make a fantastic topping for Spiced Sweet Potato Carrot Soup!)

    Bonus? They're super simple. Just open a can of chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans) and drain then rinse them. I then like to use a clean dish towel or paper towels to pat them dry. Then toss them with some oil and spices on a baking sheet, pop in the oven, and 20-30 minutes later you've got beautifully crispy rosemary cumin roasted chickpeas.

    I'm totally planning on making a double batch of these roasted chickpeas to serve as a Thanksgiving appetizer for easy snacking while Thanksgiving dinner comes together. (It's a much more nutritious option than snacking on potato chips!)

    This easy Spiced Sweet Potato Carrot Soup is a delicious, vegan harvest soup. It's packed with flavorful, warm spices and is gluten and dairy-free. 

    Why are roasted chickpeas such a healthy snack?

    • FIBER! A ½ cup of chickpeas has 6g fiber. Fiber is so important for our digestive health, satiety and weight management, lowering cholesterol, blood glucose management, and more!
    • PROTEIN! A ½ cup of chickpeas has about 7g plant-based protein. This makes chickpeas an excellent protein option for vegans or vegetarians, or for those looking for a cost-effective protein source.
    • FOLATE! Chickpeas are high in B vitamins, including folate (a ½ cup contains roughly 20% your daily folate needs). Folate is essential for brain and nervous system health, cardiovascular health, red blood cell production, and reproductive health. Pregnant women often hear of the importance of folate in pregnancy as it helps reduce the incidence of spina bifida, a type of birth defect.

    Honestly, there is so much more to this little legume, but those are my top fave three things about chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans). Besides the fact that they're so delicious. 😉

    Also? You totally don't have to make these rosemary cumin roasted chickpeas just for Thanksgiving. They're delicious anytime! My favorite snack lately is slices of fresh honeycrisp apple paired with some of these crunchy little roasted chickpeas. So much yum!

    Rosemary Cumin Roasted Chickpeas make a delicious, crunchy, fiber-filled snack or appetizer. They're easy to make and very food allergy-friendly.

But if this has typically triggered restrictive or extreme habits or eating patterns, let's try something different:

Can you try to gently step back into caring for yourself?

Check in with your baseline habits.

+Has your water intake turned to mostly coffee intake? 
+Are you moving your body in a way that feels good right now?
+How are your eating habits?

Then, when the opportunity next presents itself to do something a little different, like adding vegetables to your lunch or skipping Netflix to actually go to bed at a decent time😘, act on it!
