Omg… the only thing I can really watch is some straight lined event and one of the faves is swimming of course. Lochte really deserves his wins this year, but I was still rooting for Phelps. He just has that thing about him. I already knew the result and when I saw the delayed telecast, I still watched with bated breath. wow. Hows your Olympics weekend coming along.
When I am stuck to the TV, I need something to snack on. And when hubbs is around, we need like 5 times more and a variety of healthy munchables.
Already made batches of these roasted beans and baked fries. Lets see whats is store tomorrow.
Chickpeas, sprouted over 2 days, then spiced with a little turmeric, chili and salt and roasted in the oven to make an addictive snack. You can change up the spices, add some chopped herbs, and make so many variations.
The cool thing about Sprouted beans is that you dont have to cook them! you can directly bake them. Sprout any large beans, spice, roast and munch… so many beans, lentils and peas out there. Mung beans, black eyed peas, red lentils, black chickpeas.(Kidney beans and soy bean sprouts can be toxic, especially raw. Though there is conflicting information on the interwebz, Use them canned and cook them thoroughly).
These crunchy roasted sprouted beans also make a great addition to salads instead of croutons. You can also use canned or cooked chickpeas or other beans like cooked beans used for these Roasted Garam masala Chickpeas.
These turmeric chickpeas are for Taste of Yellow for Barbara.
I happened upon Barbara’s blog sometime 2 years back and would read it off and on. Barbara was fighting cancer since 2004 and lost the battle a few weeks back. Rest in peace Barbara.
She created the Taste of Yellow event for food bloggers to participate and to raise awareness for cancer and it was her way of supporting the LiveStrong Foundation.
Meeta’s Monthly Mingle is honoring Barbara Harris and her Taste of Yellow event this month. The event is being hosted by Jeanne of Cooksister.
The event also talks about sharing stories or talking about the big C. I have many stories I can share, which will just make me feel depressed. What I’d like to share is how we all can help, by offering to do some work, by showing some extra love and care, by doing things without being asked. For anyone going through any chronic illness or a bad time, let us all Be there, reach out and do something.

If you havent already, do stop by my SoDelicious Ice cream review post for coupons Giveaway. And stop by next week for an interview with Dr McDougall about his book The Starch solution.
And for the furry members of the family. Make these roasted sprouted chickpeas without any salt, oil or spices. Roast sprouted beans until crunchy. Chewie’s current faves are some crunchy roasted sprouted black eyed peas and chickpeas. A little turmeric helps them furry babies too. Look how he “waits” to get the crunch.
These crunchy chickpeas are being shared at Ricki’s wellness weekend, Slightly indulgent Tuesdays, Hearth and soul blog hop, Healthy Vegan Fridays, Allergy Free Wednesdays
Those sprouted chick peas are the cutest!
Hi Richa,
Didn’t realise sprouted chickpeas don’t need to be boiled before baking. Gotta love a nutritious snack that is cute with little tails on 🙂
Adding this to my Must-Make page & shared on FB
Enjoy your day!
These look like the most amazing snackies ever- I have never had roasted chickpeas, they must be utterly addicting!
I’ve never sprouted beans before and think this would be a great way to introduce that into my life….although my impatience may lead me to use canned ones 😉 Either way, I love the idea of crunchy, turmeric spiced chickpeas!
Thanks for linking up to HVF! Hope to see you next week!
These look gorgeous! I’ve never sprouted chickpeas before, but now I will definitely have to try. Thanks Richa!
i keep sprouting beans and lentils every week, esp now in summer. they just add so much more nutrition. all my current daal soups are made with srouted lentils instead of just soaked
They look like an delicius snack.
Good day
Thanks Marus!
One of my favorite things is roasted chickpeas…I might have to Paper, Scissors, Rock Chewie for the ones on the rug next to him 🙂
by the time you do that, he will have gobbled all up. he is faster than you can say chewie.
I thought Pebbles was the only Pom that liked chickpeas, I guess not! She eats them up like crazy. Any time she hears the sound of uncooked chickpeas dropping into the slow cooker she gets all excited.
😀 chewie beats all doggies when it comes to eating beans, veggies and what not. the only things he does not eat it a jalapeno pepper!
I’d love to snack on real healthy treats. Specially now that my daughter is starting to have her snack and eating habits developed, I start to open her eyes to the benefits of healthy snacks. Good habits start early as they say 😉 Thanks for the post!
