At Bite Size Wellness we strive to bring you the best of health and wellness one bite at a time. If you think about it each day is made up of little bites that we make, say, see and do for our healthy lifestyle.
Sometimes that includes drooling over great recipes like these Crunchy Chickpeas from Cooking Light.
Crunching is one thing we need to do daily. You could call us a chip-aholic, but with healthy alternatives like crispy chickpeas we are way more sophisticated in our munching than the general population. Or so we tell ourselves.
We love this recipe for many reasons. First, it is incredibly simple—a two-step process! And two, we have culinary freedom to flavor as we wish with every spice in our cabinet.
Here is another Daily Bite we are urging you to make.
Go on…the kitchen is calling.

Ooh, I adore chickpeas, and I do live crunchy snacks. I’d like to make these but think I would wait until I ha an event to take them to. Living alone, These sorts of convenient crunchies are sometimes too easy to not stop eating. Although these look like they would be a pretty healthy thing to overeat. Hehe, watch out, next thing you know I’ll be goug crazy with the carrots;)
Ooooh roasted chickpeas! Love it! Probably the healthiest crunchy snack you can eat 🙂
Oooo! I like this idea! I don’t think I have ever had chick peas before in my life. I actually make green beans like this 🙂 But chickpeas I think are on the agenda!
