I was saddened last week to hear of the sudden passing of a fellow food blogger, Daniel of The Haggis and The Herring. I was further saddened to learn that not only did he leave behind his wife, Meredith, who often appeared on his blog either in her own words or his, but that his wife was expecting their third child. My heart and my prayers go out to this family for their comfort and peace in the middle of their bereavement .
My food-blogging friends from the Secret Recipe Club and I are joining today to honor Daniel and his legacy by cooking up recipes from his blog and sharing them together with you. If you’ve never been to The Haggis and The Herring, you are in for a treat! He and Meredith have compiled quite a list of international and ethnic goodies that they’ve tested and tasted and approved. I love trying out foods from different cuisines, so I always have fun browsing through his recipe directory.
For today’s special tribute, I chose to prepare his Toasted Chickpeas Snack in keeping with my new “Get Healthy” goals. They were delicious! They remind me of popcorn, but they fill me up a lot faster, and offer more protein.
I didn’t have all the spices that Daniel used in his, so mine were admittedly less exciting than they could be. They’re still delicious just as they are, but feel free to jazz them up with the spices he recommends.
Toasted Chickpea Snacks
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (or equivalent cooked dried chickpeas)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp oregano
Instructions
- Stir the olive oil and chickpeas together; sprinkle in seasonings and stir until well blended.
- Pour the chickpeas onto a greased cookie sheet (I used a cast iron pizza pan) and bake at 400F until crispy. (Mine cooked for about 20 minutes or so.)

I love toasted chick peas - wonderful choice to tribute a fellow member who will be missed dearly.
I definitely want to try that chick pea recipe. It looks really good!
So sad about Daniel. I checked out his blog and he looked like a fairly young guy. I feel bad for the unborn child who will never get to meet his daddy.
I know; it’s so sad
He was only 37.

Really sad to hear. I don’t know what I would do without my husband. It is awesome that you are doing a tribute and thanks for sharing these. I am going to try some today for a snack for the kids. Stopping by from Crystal & Comp. Hope to see you at True Aim!
So sorry to hear this. We take our lives for granted sometimes, don’t we? I’m eager to try your snacks. Finding something flavorful yet heathy to snack on is hard to do.
Toasted chickpeas have become my new favorite snack! I’ve tried 2 other varieties - salt and vinegar (sort of like the potato chip) and cinnamon and sugar. Both really tasty! I’ll have to try these next.
Oooh, I’ve never tried a sweet version! That sounds yummy. I did try the salt and vinegar and didn’t care for it, but I may have used too much vinegar. This is one of my favorite healthy snacks to prepare.
I will admit, the vinegar was a bit strong. But that didn’t slow me down one bit!
These sound delicious - and I have a can of chickpeas in the cupboard just waiting to be used! Can’t wait to try them. And I’m curious about the salt/vinegar combo suggested above! (found you through Snacktime Saturdays!)
What a wonderful way to celebrate a fellow blogger. I definitely want to try this recipe. I’m a snacker and am always looking for healthy choices. Thanks for sharing at Snacktime Saturday.
