Roasted chickpeas are great addition to salads, or simply to pack for lunches away from home. The lemon juice is what gives them an incredible flavor!
Not to mention, chickpeas are a resistant start that lower blood sugars after the next meal; they are good for gut health; and they are a soluble fiber that that bind cholesterol in the digestive tract and facilitate it’s removal from the body.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
Ingredients:
4 cups cooked chickpeas, drained
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 Tablespoon Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle Seasoning
3-4 lemons, juiced
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
1 Tablespoon olive oil
Directions:
In a large dishpan, lightly toss all ingredients together. (I blend all of the spices together in a coffee grinder.)
Line a large jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Evenly spread the chickpea mixture so they are a single layer.
Bake in hot oven for 20 minutes.
Stir.
Bake for another 20 minutes.
Turn oven off.
Allow to cool inside the oven (for the rest of the day or overnight)
Store in an airtight container.
Enjoy!
