This is a simple dish that my family and I enjoy cooking and eating
together. It's so quick and easy to make! We discovered it as an
alternative to unhealthy snacks. It can be served as a snack or a
side dish. I've even tried it over brown rice and drizzled with
balsamic vinegar and a bit of olive oil! Depending on the seasoning
that is added, the chickpeas take on a different flavor each time. It
keeps the dish interesting, adds variety, and has so much flavor!
