Zesty Treat 1: Lemon-Garlic Roasted Chickpeas

If you’re looking for a savory zesty treat that’s crunchy, satisfying, and packed with flavor, these Lemon-Garlic Roasted Chickpeas are your answer. They’re the perfect snack for those who crave something tangy with a bit of savory depth.

Ingredients:

• 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Pat the chickpeas dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps them get crispy when roasted.
3. In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure they are evenly coated.
4. Spread the chickpeas out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
5. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest.
7. For an extra zesty kick, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes on top.

These crispy roasted chickpeas are perfectly tangy and savory with just a touch of spice. They’re a great snack to munch on when you’re craving something crunchy, and the lemon-garlic combo gives them that irresistible zesty flair. Plus, they’re high in protein and fiber, making them a healthier option than traditional chips.

Zesty Treat 2: Mango Lime Sorbet

On the sweeter side of zesty, a Mango Lime Sorbet is a cool, refreshing treat that’s bursting with tropical flavor. The combination of ripe mangoes and tangy lime creates a perfect balance of sweet and citrusy, making it a go-to summer treat—or a pick-me-up any time of the year.

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
• 1/4 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon lime zest
• 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
