Healthy snack idea: oven-roasted chickpeas

An easy vegan snack recipe idea with lots of protein, these oven roasted chickpeas are like little homemade nuts. They're crunchy, low-fat and high in protein, which makes them perfect for an easy and simple vegetarian and vegan snack idea. Kids will love these too! I recommend them fresh out of the oven, as they have a lovely crunchy and warm texture, but they're great when cooled too.
