7. Leblebi: A Crunchy Snack with a Surprising Twist
Though it may seem like a simple snack, leblebi—roasted chickpeas—is elevated to an art form in Pamukkale. The preparation involves a surprisingly intricate process of roasting and resting to achieve the perfect texture and flavor. From the classic salt-roasted version to more adventurous options like chocolate-coated or spice-dusted varieties, Pamukkale offers a wide range of leblebi flavors. What makes the leblebi here special is the use of locally grown chickpeas and traditional roasting techniques passed down through generations. These crunchy bites are not only delicious but also packed with protein and fiber, making them an ideal healthy snack while exploring Pamukkale. Many local shops offer tastings, so you can try different flavors before choosing your favorite to take home as a tasty souvenir.
