I use this as a side dish very often since the colors are so lovely. It will keep in the refrigerator for several days so you can also make it in advance. The celery leaves or parsley create a nice colorful and flavorful accent, so don't leave it out.You can roast the peppers as long as you want - very tender peppers will be sweeter and more delicious. If making only a small amount, you can cook them right on an open flame! The point is to cook them until browned so that the skin will easily peel off. Since you can taste the natural sweetness of the peppers if there isn't too much vinegar, I dilute it with some water. For 4 servings. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

I haven’t been feeling well these past few days,,,earache 😦 but I am better today so I was able to post my recipe. 🙂 Have you ever eaten Baked Chickpeas? if not then this is a must try recipe. A vegetarian dish so easy to make with just a few ingredients, and yet with such a delish taste that you won’t believe.This recipe originates from the Aegean Island of Sifnos, one of the beautiful Cyclades Islands which is situated between Milos and Serifos. Sifnos is known for it’s traditional delicious food such as Revithada, a cheese with a bit of a sharp taste called Manoura, beautiful handmade pottery, landscapes and (ohh btw I have heard that they have pottery workshops if anyone is interested in taking lessons while visiting Sifnos), and of course the gorgeous sandy beaches..:)On to the recipe 🙂I wanted to try to cook this the traditional way, but that was just impossible due to the fact that I don’t own the traditional pots. But since I do own a ceramic baking pot I decided to bake the chickpeas in there, what I love about cooking in this pot is that it gives the food a smokey taste so different than the usual pots or pans we use to bake. 🙂

This is actually tastier if you bake the pepper slowly in the oven, but it's faster and easier in the microwave. I think cooked peppers taste sweeter and more delicious than raw. Use a large pepper with a firm flesh.The microwaving time will vary depending on how big the peppers are, and the wattage of your microwave oven. Microwave the peppers several times while checking on how they are progressing. If it's hard to peel them, they may not be cooked enough, but if you microwave the peppers too long they will burn, so watch out for that. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

This is a dish I have had many times over. My mother cooks it often.

If you have a craving for something savory, salty, and crunchy, but don't want the fat, make these and munch away! They are high in protein and low in fat, and they'll fill you up faster than popcorn and potato chips. Enjoy!

Simple and fast way to make spiced chickpeas.

Always looking for healthy snacks so I made my own version of this yummy snack. It was super easy to make, had them roasting while I was doing laundry and cleaning.

Chickpeas, or garbonzo beans, is packed with protein and fiber. Using store bought canned chickpeas, we can turn them into crispy, delicious and healthy snack.
