Roasted Chickpeas Recipe
Description
Roasted Chickpeas Recipe begins with rinsed and well-dried cooked chickpeas spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then tossed with olive oil, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, and sea salt. The chickpeas roast at 425°F until fully dried and crunchy, providing a hearty, nutty texture with a savory, lightly cheesy flavor from the nutritional yeast.
The texture is crisp throughout, making them ideal for snacking or as a salad topping. The baking process intensifies the natural earthiness of chickpeas while the seasonings offer a balanced taste without overpowering the base.
Store roasted chickpeas in a glass container at room temperature to maintain their crispness. Optional extra drying by leaving the oven door slightly open after roasting can enhance crunchiness, especially if planning to keep or gift them.
Ingredients
- 2 cup chickpeas see notes, cooked
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Rinse the chickpeas well then dry them using a salad spinner (easiest!) or with paper towels.

- Roast the chickpeas in the oven for 35-40 minutes, until they are completely dry and crispy. See notes.

Notes
- A standard 19-ounce can yields about 2 cups of cooked chickpeas for roasting.
- For extra crispy chickpeas suitable for storage or gifting, leave the oven door cracked open after roasting to fully dry them.
