As I had mentioned previously, i have bags of roasted chickpeas that i don’t like. This was another adventure into trying to make it more appealing and fun to eat! Hubby agreed, even as altered, the chickpeas are dense and need to be combined with something else to make it a more better snack!

Notes
Wonderful flavor and versatile!
You can trade out other seeds, like sunflower, butternut or spaghetti squash seeds! Also nice to toss some on a salad!
You can also mix up the fun by using different oil flavors! Cayenne and garlic oils are my favorites!
