These garlic parmesan roasted chickpeas are extremely simple and a great recipe to have as a snack. I doubled the batch because I knew I would be snacking on these all week long. My kids will be eating them for school as well since they are extremely healthy and high on fiber which will keep them full longer.

Well I hope you get to make this recipe. If you like legumes this is a fabulous different way to add chickpeas into your diet.

Enjoy!

When you make these roasted chickpeas you can add some cayenne and curry powder if you like. I added some extra parmesan. I love any type of cheese and so do my kids so I was very generous with it!
