Roasted Lemon Rosemary Sumac Chickpeas

My new year’s resolution this year is to start eating healthier snacks. At the end of the day, I often find I need a bit of a pick-me-up. I often dive into a bag of almonds, I keep in the freezer to stay fresh, but I am now thinking I need to branch out.

Chickpeas are full of healthy components including being high in fiber, potassium, vitamin C, B-6, to name only a few.

The typical use for chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, is hummus so why not branch out a bit and create a new, easy to make and delicious snack.
