Back in April I blogged about my tips on how to survive a long haul flight, and top tip #4 was to take your own snacks! One of the snacks that I took with me were my spicy and crunchy chickpea snacks!
the travel snack I took to South Africa, inc these chickpeas |
This has to be one of the most easiest snacks to make, plus chickpeas
are dam good for you – low in fat, high in protein, plus a source of fibre AND
one serving (half a can) counts as one of your five a day!
You can also use whatever flavour you want on these – I went for Cajun
spice with a touch of chilli.
I was in a rush so used a can of chickpeas but it is best if you can
use the dried variety that you soak overnight.
How to make these...

Rinse
the chickpeas in cold water and discard of any of the lose skins
Pat
dry to ensure they are thoroughly dry or leave to dry on a paper towel for an
hour or so
dry them off as much as possible |
In a bowl, add the chickpeas and the flavouring (plus a touch of oil to make the spices stick) and mix well
In a roasting tin, melt a little coconut oil and add the chickpeas and flavouring
get creative with your spices! |

Roast
in the oven for about an hour at 150*C, giving the chickpeas bit of a shake
every now and again
Once cooked, leave to cool, pack them up in an airtight tupperwear
box and take them on your travels! They should keep a couple of days with no problem.
Per 100g of chickpeas, there is a whopping 17g of fibre and 19g of protein! That's some snack!
