Crispy, salty and spicy are some of the most common ways to describe a roasted chickpea snack. Oil-roasted chickpeas are typically dressed up with seasonings and spices like cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, sea salt and black pepper, but this snack from Watusee Foods aims to recreate a sweeter flavor instead.
The 'Cinnamon Toast Chickpeatos' are chickpeas that have been roasted in coconut oil and enhanced with only a few other simple ingredients: organic cinnamon, salt and organic stevia. As reflected in the name of the brand, this Watusee Foods product makes a point to simplify its ingredient list and deliver a cleaner alternative than most options on the market.
Watusee Foods' Chickpeatos also come in savory flavors like Rosemary, Spicy Cayenne and Tomato Basil.
