We are always on the go. And we have lots of waiting time between activities. So I have started keeping a jar of trail mix in the car. I have recently started adding roasted chickpeas or garbanzo beans (whatever you want to call them) to my mix. They add a fun salty crunch. Mostly we like nuts, dried fruit, sunflower seeds, pepitas seeds, and sometimes chocolate pieces. Since it stays in the car I am hesitant to add anything that can melt in the heat.
Roasted Chickpeas aka Garbanzo beans
Drain and rinse chickpeas.
Let dry or dry with towel
Mist with olive oil or drizzle and stir chickpeas in the oil
Sprinkle with salt
Spread out on a sheet pan (I like a sheet pan with a silicone mat on it for easy clean up)
Bake in oven at 400 for 30-40 minutes stirring every 10 minutes
This particular mix is kind of boring with dried blueberries, cherries, and cranberries mixed with roasted chickpeas and almonds. However, it is what I had in the cabinet at the time.
