Storage: Refrigerate for up to 5 days. Use quickly once cut.
🫘 Chickpeas
- Roast canned chickpeas at 400°F (200°C) for 25 minutes for a crunchy snack.

Nutrition: Excellent plant protein with 15g per cup. High in fiber, iron, and folate.
Storage: Canned chickpeas last 2-5 years. Cooked chickpeas keep 3-5 days refrigerated.
