Paprika-Spiced Sauteed Chick Peas

Hello everyone,

I love chick peas. I love them on salad. I love them straight out of the can. I love them coated in oil and still sorta good for you … And really, who doesn’t love a good snack? I’m certainly a sucker for them! I finally put two and two together and spawned a new favorite recipe for Paprika-Spiced Sauteed Chick Peas.

This recipe is incredibly quick and easy. It’s the type of “thrown together” dish that will shock your tastebuds and your friends! This recipe calls for just four needed ingredients (but you can add others) and takes under 20 minutes to make. Plus, sauteed chick peas are a protein-packed, healthy-ish snack that’s perfect for your next potluck! The texture is a little crunchy, a bit chewy, and it’s chock full of flavor.If you happen to have a lodge cast iron skillet it will give the outer shell that extra crispy layer. I can’t recommend this recipe enough. Go on and give it a try!

Happy snacking!

Jocelyn
