Garam Masala Roasted Chickpeas

Garam masala roasted chickpeas, avocado, radishes, carrots, arugula, black forbidden rice with hummus.

These one-bowl meals have been making me swoon lately. Especially since the weather has been 105 degrees out here in the Tri-Valley, it's easy to eat watermelon 24/7.  Luckily, this solves the problem when you come back from the pool and don't have much energy to cook an entire dinner. One-bowl meals are the perfect combination of complex carbohydrates, healthy fats and protein.

The garam masala roasted chickpeas add a unique flavor, and these can be used for tasty on-the-go snacks as well. You can purchase garam masala at your local Indian store.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cans of chickpeas
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp garam masala (or more, if desired)

  4. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Enjoy!
