Snacks are good.
Snacks are delicious.
Some snacks are bad for you.
Others, nutritious.
I love snacks.
I'm not telling a lie.
I will forever adore snacks.
'Til the day I die.
You are my friends.
And I love you.
Hence forth I will share
My roasted chickpea recipe.
I know. That last line didn't rhyme. Let me rework that one, ahem:
You are my friends.
And I love you thee.
Hence forth I will share
My roasted chickpea recipe.
Roasted Lavender Chickpeas
Yields: 1 to 2 servings
Ingredients:
12 oz can of chickpeas / garbanzo beans, rinsed
2 TBS extra-virgin olive oil
1 & 1/2 TBS dried lavender
Pinch of salt
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees
2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine all of the ingredients.
3. Spread chickpeas onto a parchment lined baking sheet, and bake for about 25-30 minutes, keep an eye on the chickpeas, to make sure that they don't burn!
It's snowing out. I need a snack. I need this - and so I shall do it. (Stars are aligned -have all ingredients). Kudos to the poem! It's to the point and sweet!

ReplyDeleteI love snacks and I love chickpeas so this is right up my alley! I've tried roasting chickpeas before but never with lavender! will have to try this soon!
ReplyDeleteI just finished grading poetry (written by high school seniors) and while I thought I was over poetry, reading this made me realize I was just over poetry about football and prom and heartache. Chickpea poems are totally fantastic! As is the lavender spice here :) I love it!

ReplyDeleteEmily....I was reading your poem like it was a rap song! How creative! And so is this chickpea recipe. I love chickpeas to snack on. And I've only baked with lavender....but loved the subtle flavor it gave and can only imagine what it does for this snack! "These chickpeas are so cruncy, perfect for a munchie. And such a perfect pairing. So thank you for sharing. We're such a faithful crew cuz we love you too!"
