Crispy chickpeas

Sourced from https://youtu.be/5EU76q3Vf3Q

This makes for decently crispy chickpeas, with not that much effort. Chickpeas are also very cheap and quite a healthy alternative as far as snacks go.

I place a paper towel below and above the chickpeas while microwaving to avoid any chickpeas exploding and messing up my microwave oven. Varying the spices allows for good variety in the snacking experience.

Ingredients

• 1 can of chickpeas
• Some frying oil
• Any spice mix you like

Steps

1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas
2. Place a paper towel on a large plate, put the chickpeas on top, then another paper towel
3. Microwave for 10 minutes
4. Heat some oil in a frying pan
5. Pan-fry the chickpeas
6. Add spices

Granny Smith apples and raw almonds, sun flower seeds, spicy peanuts in the shell.. really any seed or nut. And freaking clementines. I don't care how old I get I will always love cuties.

Mixed raw unsalted nuts make up 90% of my calorie intake.

I eat this vegan jerky nearly every day, it's so friggin good...they sell it in 5 lb bulk packages...I have dreamt of ordering it

Hear me out Tortilla. You can eat it cold, hot, for lunch, for dinner, and if you wrap it in paper you can eat it pretty much anywhere.

Cashews. I usually snack on lots of cashews.

Chex mix is problem snacking for me. I literally can not stop myself from eating Chex mix until it is gone, so it is something I very rarely buy.

Roasted bell pepper, or diced halloumi marinated in harissa.

my preference has always been the humble almond; i usually get some dark-chocolate roasted ones which are particularly good and come in 32 packs that i can make last for a month. on the more processed side i will never tire of Wheat Thins--i can go through half a box of those in a day, lol

Chocolate (dark and with praline or hazelnuts), salty crackers, hummus (my favorites are sweet pepper and sundried tomato) with breadsticks.

Presently, it's an Indian savoury mixture called Cornflakes Chudva. It's a great snack, blend of savory, sweet+spice, and has a great mouthful.

Popcorn

Oranges are the perfect snack for me. Fiber to satisfy the hunger, juicy enough to not leave me thirsty after, and most kinds are easily peelable by hand so no washing required!

Most days I have an apple in the morning and some cheese, crackers, and salami in the afternoon.

Apples and a homemade oatmeal protein bar (oats, cinnamon, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, pb, vanilla extract, honey, unsweetened almond milk...chill and cut into bars).
