A helpful note
Why it can fit the conversation
Chickpeas are a fibre-containing food with carbohydrate, so this is a snack where the serving size is worth noticing. Roasting gives them crunch without a long ingredient list, and you can portion a small bowl rather than eating straight from the tray.
This is general healthy-eating information, not personal medical advice. Your healthcare team can help you adjust portions and ingredients for your needs.
