If you are following the Keto diet, you want to be careful about consuming too many chickpeas because they are high in carbs. However, they are also high in protein and fiber, which really helps balance out the carbs. So, on a low carb diet, they can be enjoyed in moderation. The great thing about chickpeas is they are a complex carbohydrate, so they don't cause the spikes in blood sugar that are problematic for diabetics and weight loss. Complex carbohydrates tend to satiate and fill us up quicker, so we eat less and therefore reduce calories. Crispy air fryer chickpeas are a great alternative to a bag of potato chips, just a handful will satisfy your need for crunch and they fill you up!
