Foods that combine both protein and fiber are a smart choice, since they promote satiety, making you feel full for longer.

2 Tsp Cumin

Once you have drained and rinsed the chickpeas, dry off with a clean tea towel.
Place the chickpeas in a medium sized bowl and combine with the rest of the ingredients until well coated.
Place in a single layer in a roasting pan lined with baking paper.
Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes -mixing them around about 20mins. Keep a close watch on them for the last 10-15mins as some may burn.
Let them cool before eating to obtain their crunchiness.
For best storage keep them in a glass jar and add some rice to the bottom (helps soak up moisture) to keep them crunchy. Be sure to eat within a few days.
