Roasted Chickpeas

Roasted chickpeas

I think more people would eat things like chickpeas, beans and lentils if they knew what to do with them.  Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans are an excellent vegetarian source of protein, iron and fiber.  They are also naturally low in fat and super cheap.  I picked up this recipe from a client (thanks Rich) and have been passing it along to everybody I know- it is that good and easy.  Try it and let me know what you think.
