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.

Oh please tell me how you roast them!! That sounds yummy! I wouldn't mind getting a recipe for the Greek No Pasta salad either!

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

You could add some chopped dill pickle to it.
