I'll be the first to admit that I love potato chips and the where I live, you can get the best potato chips in the world. These chips; however, are fried in lard. (I think that’s what makes them so good.)

You and I both know that this is not a ‘heart healthy’ snack and I only eat them occasionally. But when that crunchy munchy feeling hits me, here is an alternative to those chips that’s simple to make and a lot healthier than chips.

dry on a paper towel
remove the shells
combine spices before adding to chickpeas
spread on a lined cookie sheet
bake until crispy
