Crispy and Spiced Garbanzo Beans- 3 Weight Watchers PointsPlus

June 16, 2015 by Alisha Hughes

This snack is definitely worth giving a try. I posted a video of this garbanzo bean snack a couple of weeks ago. Since then I have tried the recipe in my own kitchen and it was good so I am posting the recipe, picture, and video for anyone looking for a filling snack that you can feel good about.

One half cup is just 3 Weight Watchers PointsPlus and it is yummy and filling so you can enjoy these guilt-free!
