Roasted Chickpeas - 2 Ways
Description
This recipe uses canned chickpeas which are rinsed and dried thoroughly before tossing with olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. The base seasoning can be varied with spice blends like curry powder with turmeric, chili powder with garlic powder, or za'atar with sumac, creating distinct flavor profiles.
Baking at 425°F for 30-35 minutes or air frying at 400°F for 12-15 minutes crisps the chickpeas until crunchy. The methods require tossing halfway through cooking for even browning. The end result is a crunchy snack with seasoned, toasted flavor.
Roasted chickpeas are suitable as snacks, salad additions, or garnishes. They keep well at room temperature for several days, crunch retained by allowing air in the container. They also freeze well and can be thawed before eating to preserve texture.

- 1 (15-ounce) chickpeas canned
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- Rinse the chickpeas in a colander until the water runs clear. Using a paper towel, dab the chickpeas to dry them completely.

To Bake the Chickpeas:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread the chickpeas out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, tossing halfway through.
- Enjoy immediately while they're warm, or allow to cool and then store in an airtight container to enjoy later.
To Air Fry the Chickpeas:
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
- Spread the chickpeas out in a single layer in the basket of an air fryer. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, tossing halfway through.
- Enjoy immediately while they're warm, or allow to cool and then store in an airtight container to enjoy later.
Notes
- Store roasted chickpeas in a container cracked slightly open to maintain crispness for up to 4 days at room temperature.
- To freeze, cool chickpeas completely before placing in an airtight container; keep frozen up to one month and thaw at room temperature before eating.
