These crispy and spicy roasted chickpeas conceal a mouth-watering collection of flavors and make a delicious appetizer. You could make this dish any time of year, and I think they make a wonderful New Year’s Eve party snack.

December 28, 2013 at 6:16 pmThese would be wonderful as nibbles with drinks but would be equally as delicious sprinkled over a salad bowl or as part of a nutritious, healing Buddha bowl which I am MOST in need of after too many luxury Christmas Nacho's eaten with too much Christmas booze this year. Cheers for this delicious, simple and wholesome share 🙂
