In case you didn't figure this out from the Butternut Squash Chips, Beet Chips, etc., I've been looking for some healthier snacking options lately. More specifically, crunchy stuff! I don't know why, but this family seems to get a case of the nighttime crunchies. As much as I love popcorn, snow peas, baby carrots, certain dry cereals, etc., it all gets old after a while. I figured it was time to try adding Toasted Chickpeas to the rotation.
By the way, I've given up the great veggie chip adventure for now. I was playing around with beets again yesterday ... and carrots ... and plantains ... but I couldn't quite get them where I wanted them. Or I did, but five minutes later, they were soft again?!? I'll come back to them down the road. The thing is, I knew somewhere in the back of my mind that our new oven has a built-in dehydrator feature, but since everyone (hopefully anyhow) has an oven, but not everyone has a dehydrator, I figured I'd try them the old-fashioned way first. Now that I've confirmed the dehydrator function, I can't wait til summer so I can try some pineapple chunks, papaya, etc. Yummmm!
INGREDIENTS :
2 cans chick peas (a/k/a Garbanzo Beans)
1 T olive oil
1 T of your favorite seasoning (I used buffalo rub)
Salt
Rinse, drain, and pat dry the chickpeas.
