Salt and vinegar potato chips are yummy, buy there is certainly not healthy! So I made a healthy compromise, Salt & Vinegar Roasted Chickpeas!

Although you can purchase roasted chickpeas at the store, the time, ease, and cost of making your own is completely worth it! There is never enouch chickpeas in the store-bought bags for the cost either!

There are a few tips to making perfectly roasted chickpeas!

• Make sure the chickpeas are dry of any excess water. Once you drain and rinse the chickpeas, lay them on a paper towel lined plate to absorb the excess moisture.
• Don’t crowd the chickpeas on the baking sheet. Space between the chickpeas will help ensure that they roast instead of steam. Use two baking sheets in necessary
• Add the white vinegar and salt during the last 5 minutes of roasting. The vinegar will cook out if you add it too early.

Roasted chickpeas are best enjoyed the same day, but you can store in the refrigerator and enjoy the leftovers although they will lose some of their crispiness.
