Hi beauties!
Currently on route to New York City! S0 unbelievably excited to be heading to this big city. My mom and I went to NYC two summers ago for a few days. It was great, but was not long enough. I have also been to NYC with my cheer team back when I was in high school.
This time will be different though. We are going for 5 days! We have tons on our bucket list this time too. I will be doing travel posts to keep everyone updated on our adventures. I'm hoping to explore the best vegan places to eat and of course all the touristy places.
Anyways, I'm currently on the train writing this blog post. The train we are on has free wifi, so I pre-planned some posts to edit and get up while I'm on here. I figured I have five hours, might has well be productive! So here we go.
I have a confession. I am currently obsessed. And when I say obsessed, I mean fully addicted.. If you have never tried roasted chickpeas you are seriously missing out. I even convinced Dylan to try them! Yes, carnivore + chip devouring Dylan. And to his surprise, he actually liked them! I wasn't surprised though.. they are amazing.
In order to stay away from a deathly bag of cancer causing chips.. I needed to find an alternative to nuts. Don't get me wrong I love a good handful of natural almonds, but they can get boring after a while.
Especially when you look beside you and see your boyfriend crunching down on some Miss Vicky's Salt and Vinegar chips... So I have ventured out to vinegar up some classic roasted chickpeas...
Roasted Salt and Vinegar Chickpeas Ingredients:
- can of chickpeas
- white vinegar
- pink salt
- extra virgin olive oil
These salt and vinegar chickpeas are crunchy on the outside yet chewy on the inside.. which in my opinion are the most perfect roasted chickpeas! Once I made them too crunchy and they literally hurt my teeth to eat.. so I won't be making them like that again!
Because these are free of preservatives, you have to make sure you eat them within the week. They don't last as long as the ones you buy in a bag but for good reasons! So I would suggest making these at the beginning of the week then enjoying them as you go!
You can enjoy them in replacement of chips or you can add them to other dishes to give a crunch.. just remember they do have a vinegar taste so you might not want to add them to something that won't mess well with them! haha
Anyways, I won't keep you any longer, down below is the recipe you came here for!
I hope you enjoy this salt and vinegar chickpeas recipe! If you want to get more chickpea recipes make you check out my Spicy Oven Roasted Chickpeas and my Spicy Chipotle Hummus!
