Why This Snack is Healing

  • Plant-based protein for sustained energy
  • High in fiber to support gut health
  • Turmeric helps reduce inflammation
  • Black pepper improves turmeric absorption
  • Supports blood sugar balance and satiety

Ingredients (Makes 3–4 servings)

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Drain and rinse chickpeas, then pat dry thoroughly with a towel (this helps them crisp).
  3. Spread chickpeas on a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes to remove moisture.
  4. Remove from oven, toss with olive oil and spices.
  5. Return to oven and roast for 20–25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  6. Let cool slightly — they will crisp up more as they cool.
