I’m one of those people who love snacky food. Like a tapas style meal…. I would much rather have loads of little things to nibble than a full blown meal.
These little chickpea bites are packed full of flavour and are a great addition to a savoury snack like sliced cucumber and tomatoes but are as good topped on a salad or eaten alone.
Chickpeas are high in protein as well as digestive fibre. They are a legume that has been grown and used in the middle east for thousands of years but in recent times, have become much mroe popular amoung western culture for their nutritional qualities. (Elliot, 2018)
