Healthy and Addictive Snack: How to Make Roasted Chickpeas a diabetic snack

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make roasted chickpeas: Ingredients: 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans) 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon cumin 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder Salt, to taste Instructions: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. It's important to remove excess moisture to help achieve crispy roasted chickpeas. In a bowl, combine the chickpeas, olive oil, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Toss well to evenly coat the chickpeas with the oil and seasonings. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are evenly spaced to allow for proper airflow and crispiness. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for about 20-30 minutes or until they become golden brown and crispy. You can gently shake the pan or stir the chickpeas once or twice during the roasting process to ensure even browning. Once roasted to your desired level of crispiness, remove the chickpeas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding a bit more salt or any other spices to suit your preference. Serve the roasted chickpeas as a delicious and nutritious snack. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Roasted chickpeas can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, although they are best enjoyed shortly after roasting for maximum crispiness. Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and spices to create unique flavor variations. Enjoy your homemade roasted chickpeas!
