Roasted Garlic Parmesan Chickpeas

Roasted Garlic Parmesan Chickpeas are a healthy snack full of fiber and protein that are full of flavor and are relatively simple to make. Roasting them in the oven gives them a great crunch while maintaining a chewiness on the inside and the garlic parmesan seasoning is delicious with the flavor of the chickpeas. Chickpeas are also known as garbanzo beans and are fairly inexpensive, so this recipe is really quite budget-friendly. They make a great snack and yield about 30-32 ounces once prepared. They are best eaten fresh for maximum crispiness, but are good leftover as well. From the Monster Foodies to you—love what you eat and enjoy!
