I adore pizza - so much so that I do just about anything I can to eat it as often as I can, while pretending it’s an entirely different meal (see: pizza baked tofu, pizza hot dogs, etc). This time: pizza roasted chickpeas!

When I say pizza, of course I really just mean that these roasted chickpeas are flavoured with cheesy tomatoey bits, no bread. It's an easy way to eat your favourite pizza flavours, while also including protein-rich chickpeas!

I had these chickpeas on their own for lunch, but serve them alongside a big heap of veg (I'm thinking something green and leafy maybe?) and they'd make a great dinner too. Nutritious and delicious.
