Chickpeas, a type of legume, are a staple of many Middle-Eastern and Indian dishes, but they also make a good snack when roasted and served instead of chips and other high-calorie, low-nutrition snack foods. Also known as garbanzo beans, chickpeas, like other legumes, supply dietary fiber, as well as essential vitamins and minerals, to your diet. To make this recipe, you need a can of chickpeas, a little cooking oil and some seasoning, if you want to spice up your snack. You can cook fresh chickpeas for an even better taste.
