#CELLCARE INGREDIENT HEALTH BENEFITS
CHICKPEAS | PLANT-BASED PROTEIN & FIBER HERO
Chickpeas are a longevity staple, rich in plant-based protein, soluble fiber, and essential minerals like iron, zinc, and magnesium. They help stabilize blood sugar, support digestive health, and promote a healthy gut microbiome — key for hormonal and immune balance.
OLIVE OIL | HEART-LOVING HEALTHY FAT
Cold-pressed olive oil is abundant in monounsaturated fats and polyphenols that reduce inflammation and support cardiovascular health. It also helps enhance nutrient absorption and adds a beautiful crispness when roasting chickpeas.
TAHINI | CALCIUM & MINERAL BOOST
Made from ground sesame seeds, tahini is a creamy superfood rich in calcium, zinc, and healthy fats. It supports hormone balance, bone strength, and skin vitality — and makes the perfect creamy dip base for roasted chickpeas.
LEMON | DETOXIFYING & ALKALIZING
Lemon is rich in vitamin C and natural enzymes that aid digestion, detoxification, and immune resilience. Its bright, tangy flavor balances the earthiness of the chickpeas and sesame beautifully.
WELLKHANA KITCHEN RECIPE
Ingredients:
For the Roasted Chickpeas
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
Pinch of sea salt
Optional: pinch of cayenne or chili flakes for heat
For the Lemon-Tahini Dip
2 tablespoons tahini
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon warm water (add more for thinner consistency)
1/4 teaspoon maple syrup or date syrup (optional)
Pinch of sea salt
Snack Pack Add-Ons (optional):
Sliced cucumber or carrot sticks
Cherry tomatoes
Olives
Gluten-free crackers or veggie chips
Instructions:
1. Preheat & Prep | Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chickpeas dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture — this ensures extra crunch.
2. Season | In a bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, and salt until evenly coated.
3. Roast | Spread chickpeas in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden and crispy.
4. Make the Dip | In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, warm water, salt, and optional maple syrup until smooth and creamy.
5. Assemble Your Snack Pack | Once cooled, portion roasted chickpeas into snack containers alongside the lemon-tahini dip and your chosen add-ons — crisp veggies, olives, or crackers.
6. Enjoy Anywhere | Perfect for travel, work, or post-yoga snacking. Store roasted chickpeas separately if prepping ahead to keep them crunchy!
Optional Garnishes:
Fresh parsley or cilantro for color
A sprinkle of sesame seeds over the dip
Lemon zest for brightness
