JuJu’s Chickpeas

These chickpeas are delicious! Enjoy as a healthy and tasty dinner side option, or add to a salad or wrap for a filling lunch or snack. I use this chickpea recipe to make my Chickaboom wrap, which is a fav of my lord’s and brothers I’ve made it for. I hope you and your family enjoy!
