Roasted Chickpeas

Why I love this recipe: Chickpeas are an incredibly versatile legume. I use them in traditional ways such as hummus and soups, but I also use them in donuts and cookies. Here the chickpeas are tossed with a few simple ingredients and roasted until crunchy. They taste great popped straight into your mouth like popcorn, added as a crunchy garnish to yummy main dishes, or tossed with vegan mayonnaise, celery and red onion for a tuna salad like sandwich filling.

Helpful tips:

Make these for picky kids. They are crunchy and nutritious and generally very well liked. 

Use the liquid from the chickpeas (aquafaba) as an egg substitute in your baking. It is a great binder. Search the aquafaba tag on the Humble Apple website or try:
