Two public holidays in two weeks is SO great – one this week for municipal elections (of course not the whole day off – I hope you all voted) and Women’s Day next week, YIPPIE! There’s nothing like a bonus day off. I think of Public holidays like a little mid-week oasis, making a great chance to have friends and family over. If you’re looking for a savoury, crunchy and delicious snack, soup topper or salad add-in to serve or take to a gathering – I have the recipe for you… roasted spicy chickpeas. They are super easy to make and offer satisfying crunchy-ness and a spicy hit.
