Crispy Chili-Lime Chickpeas with Serrano Peppers

The holidays are here. From leftover Halloween candy to Thanksgiving's mashed potatoes, stuffing, and pumpkin pie, and Christmas' eggnog and cookies, it is nearly impossible not to gain weight. This holiday season I plan to have healthy, low cal, and delectable snacks available so I am not tempted to nosh on holiday treats. One of my favorite go-to-snacks is Crispy Chili-Lime Chickpeas with Serrano Peppers. This guilt-free, somewhat spicy snack is scrumptious and easy to make. I know I will be making it often, not only during the holidays but throughout the year.
