Roasted Chickpeas
Roasted Chickpeas are a crunchy, savory snack made by seasoning canned chickpeas with oil, salt, and spices before baking them until crisp and golden. This method removes moisture for a crunchy texture that works well as a healthy nibble or salad topping. The chickpeas' subtle nuttiness combines with the spice blend for a versatile savory flavor. They're best served immediately after roasting to maintain their crispness.

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.
