Chickpeas take on a wonderful nutty flavour when roasted and it just seems to work well with whatever spice, herb, or sauce that you add! Roasted chickpeas (or garbanzo beans) are tasty and healthy. They are high in good fibre and healthy protein, which makes them filling and keeps you fuller for longer. You can make them either sweet or savoury and here are four flavour suggestions.
Open the can of chick peas, tip into a sieve and rinse for a few seconds under running water, shake the sieve gently to shake off any excess water and tip chick peas out onto a tea towel to dry. While the chick peas are drying, pre-heat the oven to 150 degrees celsius, get out a flat oven tray and line with a sheet of baking paper or tin foil. Mix up your favourite flavour and spread out evenly on the tray, place in the oven and cook for 45 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave to cool in the oven for extra crunch. Enjoy!
For this recipe, I’m sharing my current faves - one sweet and three savoury:

It's our fifth birthday at Two Busy Bees Honey! So thrilled to have made it to this business milestone. I have some very special celebrations planned for this month that I would like to share with you. Gifts, vouchers and discounts galore!
I purchased some of the "Happy Bees for Sale" and can confirm the both the bees and the buyer are delighted.
Deborah and John were really helpful, giving some great suggestions when they helped out this first-timer. My bees are flourishing and I'm looking forward to harvesting my first honey later this year.
We've purchased the large tub a few times now - we go through it so quickly. We love the taste - definitely a lot better than the ones from the supermarkets.
My wife and I love this honey compared to the supermarket brands and it taste like honey used to taste like. Great in our morning lemon and ginger hot drink.
