Herb Roasted Chickpeas

Crunchy, flavorful and filling, these *oil-free* crispy chickpeas are great as a salty snack, sprinkled over a salad or used to top roasted veggies. They travel well and are a healthy alternative to your typical uber-processed snack foods – chips, crackers, etc.

Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen includes 3 servings of beans. Just a half-cup of roasted chickpeas and you can check one serving off of your list.

So why should we make it a priority to eat beans every day?

1. They’ve been called “the most important predictor of survival” and research suggests that just modest increases in the amount of beans consumed is associated with increased longevity.
2. Beans are associated with decreased type 2 diabetes.
3. Eating beans means more nutrients and improved body weight control.
4. Adding beans can even lead to weight loss, without intentional calorie restriction.
5. Beans can help reduce cholesterol and control blood pressure.

Whip up a batch (or two) of these herb roasted chickpeas and keep them on-hand for when you’re in the mood for something crunchy. Making a double batch is recommended – these store for months in a sealed container in the freezer.
