Jumpin' Chickpeas

A zesty and slightly spicy snack or side dish where chickpeas are sautéed with garlic, red pepper flakes, and a splash of lemon. The heat makes the chickpeas "jump" in the pan and infuses them with a bold, aromatic flavor profile. They are a fantastic, protein-packed alternative to traditional appetizers or a great addition to a grain bowl.
