Roasted chickpeas are one of my favourite toppers for soups and salads. They are also a great snack, because they are simple to make, crunchy, high in protein and incredibly satisfying. With 15 grams of protein per cup, chickpeas are a great way to sneak more protein into your day. They also contain about 13 grams of fibre per cup, which provides you with about half the fibre you need in a day, and they super portable and really easy to make.
