CHICKPEAS | PROTEIN AND FIBER POWERHOUSE
Chickpeas are a great source of plant-based protein and fiber, making them perfect for supporting muscle health, digestion, and overall wellness. They help maintain steady blood sugar levels and keep you feeling full for longer. Chickpeas also provide important minerals like iron, magnesium, and zinc.
NUTRITIONAL YEAST | CHEESY FLAVOR AND B-VITAMINS
Nutritional yeast is a deactivated yeast packed with vitamins, particularly B-vitamins like B12. It's a fantastic vegan alternative for adding a cheesy, umami flavor to dishes. In addition to its savory taste, nutritional yeast is a great source of protein, fiber, and antioxidants. It supports immune function and promotes healthy skin.
OLIVE OIL | HEART-HEALTHY FATS
Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats, which support heart health by reducing bad cholesterol levels. It also contains antioxidants, including vitamin E, that help protect the body from oxidative stress. Olive oil adds flavor and enhances the crispiness of the roasted chickpeas.
GARLIC | IMMUNE-BOOSTING SUPERFOOD
Garlic is a powerful antioxidant that boosts the immune system and has anti-inflammatory properties. It supports cardiovascular health and helps regulate blood pressure. Garlic's aromatic flavor adds depth to these roasted chickpeas, making them irresistible.
