SKILLET CHICKPEAS!!!!
Oh my! These are a must try!
When I was in Greece, I had the best tasting chickpeas of my life. I asked the chef what his secret was & he said…heating them up in a SKILLET!
SKILLET CHICKPEAS
Put chickpeas (or any type of beans) into a hot SKILLET with seasonings, to make them flavorful, warm, and a little crispy. Absolute perfection!
HEALTH BENEFITS
Chickpeas & all other types of beans are SO👏DARN👏GOOD👏FOR👏YOU. They are one of the highest FIBER foods, plus they are packed with plant-protein. In fact, a recent study suggests that EATING BEANS is one of the most powerful diet changes you can make to increase your longevity (along with choosing whole grains over refined grains and eating nuts).
The goal is to have at least 1.5 cups of beans per week(which is equal to one 15-ounce can of beans/week). And if you currently aren’t meeting that, let this be your sign to get these SKILLET CHICKPEAS into your life!🙌
HOW TO ENJOY
Enjoy warm SKILLET CHICKPEAS…
