I am going to be buying a lot of garbanzo beans in the can. They are full of protein and fiber and many vitamins.

Enjoy!!! There are so many wonderful recipes that are chickpea based, the quickest I've ever seen was a vegan chicken salad. Chickpeas replaced the chicken and you prepared it basically the same with Mayo, spices, lime, etc. Amazing!!!!

I make a really nice "Greek No Pasta Salad" with chic peas all the time. They are super filling and I do feel like it keeps me regular.

I also put them in salads, and I roast them in different flavors for a crunchy snack.

This website has some great seasoning ideas! https://www.thisgrandmaisfun.com/roasted-chickpeas-recipe/

But it seems like different recipes roast them differently. I personally just rinse them off, let them air dry for a few minutes, put them on a parchment paper, use spray olive oil to coat, season them, and shake the pan every 10 minutes while in the oven. I usually bake them at 400 degrees for approx. an hour. You will find if you like them crispier or not.

Greek "No Pasta" Salad
Dressing-
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1/4 cup of olive oil
1/4 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp Greek Seasoning (I bought this from Walmart)

Veggies-
Cherry Tomatoes (halved or 4ths)
Sliced Kalamata olives
Chic peas
Cucumber
Edamame
Red Onion
Feta Cheese

My nutritionist told me (as a Vegan) not to eat all of the beans and quineo that I used to eat, because of the starches and carbs did anyone else hear this message? I dont' want to have to eat meat to get my protein. I am a Vegan for a reason! I'd love to see recipes.
