Don’t let the name fool you—this snack is completely vegan! The cheese-like flavor comes from nutritional yeast, which is a treat whether or not you abstain from eating dairy. You’ll love the savory crunch of this easy snack, and it’s perfect to tuck into a lunchbox for on-the-go munching.
Ingredients
- 1 (15 oz.) can no-salt-added chickpeas, drained and dried
