Chick Nuts ( Roasted Chickpeas ) image

I found this in "The New Glucose Revolution", a book about eating low-GI. This recipe is different because it starts with dried chickpeas, not canned. They can be spiced with any combination of spices you enjoy. Prep time does not include the overnight soak.

  • The chickpeas will shrink back to their original size.
