1⁄4 cup frozen egg substitute, thawed
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons Italian dressing
1⁄2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Roasted Chickpeas

Print friendly version

Thoroughly rinse, drain and dry a can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans). Toss them in a zip lock bag with a teaspoon of olive oil and 1⁄2 pack of garlic and herb Good Seasons salad dressing mix. Roast them for about 35 minutes in the oven, stirring often because they will burn. Salt them as soon as they come out of the oven. They will come out salty and crunchy like a “corn nut.” Try mixing with different spice combinations or with Splenda, making them slightly sweet and crunchy.

1 cup chickpeas has 286 calories, 3 grams of fat, 11 grams of fiber, and 12 grams of protein.
