This recipe is delicious and guilt-free for easy, healthy snacking!
Here is a delicious, guilt-free, crunchy, healthy, inexpensive, and easy snack. Do I have your attention? 😀
Where has this snack been all my life? I have no idea. All these years I could have been munching on healthy legumes instead of junky carbs!
Are you worried about the upcoming big game munchfest derailing your New Year's resolution to lose a few pounds? Then this snack is for you! You can munch on this during all four quarters and even if your team doesn't win, you will still feel good knowing you avoided all those calories from pizza and wings and chips!
I am the type of person who snacks to relieve stress. Even though I feel weirdly better while in the process of devouring a sleeve of crackers or a bag of chips, I feel even worse later. (One would think that I would have learned not to do this by now - but that is a discussion for another day!)
However with this snack, I can munch my stress away without the awful consequences later on. This snack is my hero!
I am excited to explore different spice combinations and see what other flavors I can create. Chipotle, garlic salt, rosemary - the possibilities are endless. If you like crunchy snacks, you should definitely give this a try! Much like my Crab Shack Popcorn, this snack is guilt free and will keep your mouth busy and your stomach hungry!

That looks amazing! I've never thought to add black beans! Thanks for sharing this.

Wow, that's a lot of salt! Over 580mg of sodium per serving. I'd have to cut that in half - or more - before I could really call it healthy. Maybe toss the roasted beans with 1/4 tsp of salt after they're done? They'll taste saltier with less salt if it's all on the outside.

Great idea!

I love chick peas and black beans, so this sounds wonderful. It is different than any way that I had ever thought of having these together. Thank you for sharing at Over the Moon link party.

Was really excited about this recipe! Checked on my pans after 20 minutes. Black beans were exploded and burning while the chickpeas were perfectly cooked and crunchy. I'll make some oven and time adjustments and try again.
Kristin
Sorry to hear about the black beans, but glad the chickpeas turned out! It definitely seems like a difference in our ovens. I hope the next batch is better! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

Love this idea! I recently joined weight watchers and this comes to zero points with their new freestyle system. However, I found the cook time to be way too long! Maybe my oven runs hot. I would probably suggest 20 min max for the black beans and another 10 for the chick peas. My first batch the black beans were smoking after 25 min and I had to throw away about 95% of the chick peas. I probably should have been keeping an eye on them but I was way too comfy on my couch 🙂 I'm looking forward to trying again with the shorter time!
Kristin
Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that your beans burned! It sounds like our ovens are definitely not calibrated the same. I actually have never checked mine to see how accurate it it - I probably should do that! I hope your next batch turns out perfect! 🙂

I live black beans, but don't care for chic peas, is there another alternative? Thank you! Sounds yummy otherwise!
Kristin King
I think you could try this with some other canned bean and see how it turns out. Or just skip the chick peas and make it with all black beans. I would be interested to hear what you try and how you like it! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
