Whether you add them to a savory trail mix or sprinkle them on top of a garden salad for texture, roasted chickpeas are a great high-fiber snack, Tills says. "A 1/2 cup of chickpeas has about 5.3 grams of fiber, which can help reduce bloating and lower cholesterol levels," she says.
To make this snack yourself, you'll need some canned chickpeas, olive oil, and spices for seasoning. Pro tip: be sure to rinse your beans thoroughly before roasting them so they get crispy in the oven. Plus, "rinsing your chickpeas helps to reduce 40 percent of the sodium," Tills adds. "After rinsing your chickpeas, drizzle two tablespoons of olive oil (and sprinkle on your favorite seasonings) on top and roast them in an air fryer at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, tossing them in the basket every five minutes." Toss them in cinnamon for a sweeter flavor, or cumin and za'atar for a spicier option.
