Crispy Spicy Roasted Chickpeas
Report
These spicy roasted chickpeas are ACTUALLY crispy, and stay that way for days, if you dehydrate them properly in the oven! A healthy, high fiber snack.

Ingredients
- 15 oz. canned chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat chickpeas dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel.
- Mix drained and rinsed chickpeas (15 oz.), olive oil (1 tablespoon), cumin (1/2 teaspoon), cayenne pepper (1/8 teaspoon), kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon), and black pepper (1/4 teaspoon) in a medium bowl until all chickpeas are well-coated.
- Spread chickpeas on prepared baking sheet evenly so they aren't touching.
- Roast for 30 minutes at 400 degrees F.
- Turn heat off, and keep chickpeas in the oven until cool. (I recommend at LEAST an hour). If you have an electric oven, I recommend cracking the door open (see notes for more info about this!).
- Store chickpeas in an airtight container or jar for up to 5 days.

Notes
- You can leave the chickpeas in the cooled oven for hours, or even overnight, if you wish. This is a great option if you need to leave the house. Just don't forget they're in there! :-)
- Play around with the spices- you can use this same cooking method with different spice combinations, both savory and sweet.
- This recipe yields only about 1 cup of roasted chickpeas. If you want to make more, simply double, triple, or quadruple the recipe. You may need to use two baking sheets to ensure the chickpeas don't touch if you more than double it.
- Some readers have commented that the chickpeas come out burned and inedible. One reader commented that it's likely they are using an electric oven. I wrote these instructions for a gas oven. Gas loses heat more quickly than electric, so with more heat retained in electric, the chickpeas may burn even after turning the oven off. That's why if you are using an electric oven, it may be a good idea to crack open the oven door to help release the heat faster.
