Crispy Chickpeas

Our approach to the perfect snack is to create a ‘mini-meal’. Which means putting together a couple of spoons of legumes or grains, a couple of spoons of probiotics, yoghurt and pickled veg is always a good pairing, a sprinkle of nuts or seeds, and then any seasoning or herb to hand for extra flavour. Not only will this provide an extra delicious bite, but will also work to tide you over until your next full meal and fill you with lots of essential vitamins, minerals and gut-friendly foods. This is why leftovers are always worth keeping - for extra delicious snack material that you can throw together in a bowl in minutes!

Recipes

Ingredients:

  • 1 tin of chickpeas, drained
  • 1 tbsp rapeseed oil

Method:

  1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees celsius.
  2. Mix all your ingredients together in a bowl and pour onto a baking tray. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden and crispy.
  3. Serve as a snack, with a couple of spoonfuls of coconut yoghurt, cherry tomatoes (or any other fresh veg you have in the fridge), some pickled onions (or other fermented food) and herbs.

Pickled onions:
