Roasted Chickpeas
Description
Roasted Chickpeas is a snack made by drying canned chickpeas and tossing them with avocado or olive oil, sea salt, and a chosen mix of 2 to 3 teaspoons of spices. The chickpeas are arranged in a single layer on parchment-lined baking sheet and roasted at 400°F for 20 to 30 minutes, with a shake halfway to crisp all sides evenly. This roasting develops a crunchy texture and a golden color on the chickpeas. The oil and salt help flavor and crisp the exterior, while the spices add depth and variety depending on the selection. The recipe yields about 1½ cups ready to enjoy.
The chickpeas should be rinsed and dried well to prevent steaming and to promote crispness. Removing loose skins before roasting helps ease the drying process. Serving immediately keeps them at their peak crunch; if left too long, they may soften. This snack is easy to customize with different spice blends. It’s a good option for those wanting a plant-based, crunchy treat without additives.
Ingredients
- 2 (15-ounce can) chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 2 to 3 teaspoons Spices (see tips above!)
Instructions
- Rinse the chickpeas. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drain the chickpeas and rinse them thoroughly under running water in a strainer.
- Dry the chickpeas. Place the chickpeas on a towel and gently pat them dry. Let them dry for a few minutes and remove any loose skins.
- Toss in spices. In a medium bowl, add the chickpeas and drizzle with olive oil. Then add the salt and spices. Toss everything together until the chickpeas are well coated.
- Roast the chickpeas. Spread the chickpeas into a single even layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes, or until crisp and golden. Give the pan a shake halfway through to make sure all sides are roasted.
- Serve immediately. Remove the chickpeas from the oven and serve immediately.
