Tasty Tuesday Treat #2



Crispy Roasted Chickpeas

Having just come off of a NY Rivalry Pre Season Weekend, I could not help but get slightly excited about the start of football.  I am definitely not a sports fanatic (just ask my husband ;) ) but there is something exciting about Sundays in the fall!
What I was not excited to hear about was a new study that stated "on average, fans of the loosing (football) team ate 16% more than they usually do the day after the unfortunate loss."  In an effort to defend against poor post game snack choices, I thought it might be fun to suggest a Roasted Chickpea Snack to the sullen fan.
Chickpeas are a great way to add more protein into a person's diet.  They are also fantastic sources of fiber, iron, phosphorus, zinc, potassium, magnesium, folate, thiamine, riboflavin and vitamin B-6.

Living among NY Jets fans, I am sure that I will be making this snack quite a bit during the 2013-2014 season :(
