I have been craving a healthy snack that is crunchy & spicy. I know I can go with baked chickpeas. Any other ideas?

kale chips with cayenne pepper, sometimes i dip veggies in hot sauce. or you could make baked tortilla or pita chips with seasonings on them.0

I love kale chips I dunk mine in vinegar before baking to make salt and vinegar ones! You could add some Franks Hot Sauce to the vinegar dip.0 -
You can find wasabi peas at Walmart in tha asian section0

Roasted chickpeas (or Garbanzo beans as I've seen them on here). Chilli, herbs, whatever takes your fancy...over for about 40 odd mins. Crunchy, spicy, low call and full of protein!
There's a recipe on the internet for more specifics but mine are just "off the top of my head" versions"0 -

Whereabouts are you in the world?
In the UK, I can find wasabi peas at Tesco, and also in Marks and Spencer. Holland and Barrett do a lovely roast broad bean. Tesco also (under the Whitworths brand, I think) do wasabi mixed beans and roast soy nuts.
Popcorn is another good crunch.0 -

Dried Veggies -- they come out like chips and you can spice them how you like.0

I've seen the soynuts in stores, but not the flavors. I don't really care as much for the plain as soynuts don't have a lot of flavor themselves. It's the spices that make them.0 -

I LOVE wasabi peas. You can get wasabi beans, as well, at www.nutsonline.com0 -

I get mine at www.nutsonline.com, but I can also find them at Fresh Market and Whole Foods. Also at Kroger.0 -

Yum, these all sound like good ideas.0

If you like wasabi, try wasabi-flavored toasted nori (also sold as "toasted seaweed" or "seaweed snacks.") Trader Joe's sells it, or try Annie Chun's brand from the health food store. Low calorie, crunchy, salty, spicy, and nutritious!0

Safeway has wasabi peas. They also has sriacha peas, which are amazeballs.0
