Dill Chickpeas

I’m always looking for new ideas for my morning and afternoon snacks. I love the distinctive flavour of dill, so I decided to come up with a recipe for Dill Chickpeas! They are super crunchy with a hint of dill flavour. Delicious dill is a favourite in our house and these dill chickpeas are also a healthy snack to enjoy throughout the day. Win-win!

Chickpeas are tasty and versatile. I enjoy them in salads, as a hummus dip or falafel, and as a straight-up snack, as with my Dill Chickpeas. Chickpeas are also full of so many nutrients, including:

·      Fibre

·      Manganese

·      Protein

·      Zinc

·      Folate
