Roasted Chickpeas

This is a super easy, healthy snack. It is made by slow roasting a can of chickpeas with some spices. The result is crunchy, nutty goodness. What a great way to include protein- and fiber-rich legumes in your diet! (and it’s a safe, tasty snack for my son with a nut allergy!). How can such a simple recipe be so delicious?
