BBQ Roasted Chickpeas

I've recently been seeing recipes for oven roasted chickpeas all over Pinterest, so I thought I should give them a try. They are a great savory snack to munch on on the go, at work, or even when watching a movie. Chickpeas are higher in protein and lower in calories compared to other popular snacks, so they will keep you feeling full for longer. For example, Lays BBQ chips have 150 calories and just 2 grams of protein per serving. 1/2 cup of chickpeas have 120 calories and 6 grams of protein -- the choice between the two is a no brainer, right? There are so many different ways you can season them: spicy, sweet, tangy... you name it. I have a recipe for BBQ flavored roasted chickpeas that I am sure you will love. The best thing about this crunchy snack is that they are so easy to make, they're practically fool proof.
