Jackie's Health Tip of the Week 10/16/16

7:11 PM Jackie Mart 0 Comments

Letting yourself get too hungry is a recipe for overeating -- especially those foods you most want to keep to smaller portions. Snacking is a smart way to make sure you're not ravenous come dinnertime. But snack choice is crucial to both keeping you full and keeping your healthy eating plans on track.  A treat is purely for enjoyment, while a snack is something you eat between meals to stave off hunger. Nuts or fruit or cheese could be a good snack, but chocolate? A treat.

Here is something different I like to make as a snack and have on hand for the week.

1. Preheat oven to 400˚F,
2. Mix chickpeas with oil and spices until evenly coated.
3. Spread chickpeas evenly on a rimmed baking sheet.
4. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until crispy (shake pan occasionally during the cooking time to ensure an even roast).
5. Serve immediately.
