Roasted Chickpeas Recipe
Description
This recipe involves drying canned chickpeas and baking them at a high temperature to remove excess moisture. After an initial bake, the chickpeas are tossed with olive oil and a blend of chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, and salt to impart a smoky, mildly spicy flavor. They return to the oven for a final bake to crisp evenly on all sides. Cooling before eating allows the chickpeas to reach ideal crunchiness.
The mixture of warm spices contributes depth and a balanced heat without overwhelming the natural nutty flavor of chickpeas. These roasted chickpeas provide a crunchy, protein-rich snack alternative or a textured addition to salads and wraps. They keep well in an airtight container refrigerated for later use.
Ingredients
- 2 14 ounce chickpeas canned, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Dry chicken peas on a towel (it's okay if they're still slightly wet) and spread onto a rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes, giving the pan a shake halfway through.
- Remove pan from oven and carefully pour chickpeas into a bowl. Drizzle on the olive oil. Use a spoon to toss the beans and coat them in the oil. Sprinkle on all the spices and toss again until evenly coated. Pour the seasoned chickpeas back onto the pan and bake 10-15 more minutes or until crispy.
- Let cool. Eat plain, or in a salad or wrap. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
