Sriracha Roasted Chickpeas
Description
This recipe begins by rinsing and drying canned chickpeas, then marinating them in a mixture of sriracha and avocado oil to infuse heat and moisture. After a 10-minute marinade, the chickpeas are spread evenly on a lined baking sheet to ensure even roasting and crisping.
Baked at 400°F for 20 minutes with a shake at the halfway point, the chickpeas develop a crispy texture. Once out of the oven, they are tossed in a spice blend of paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, enhancing their flavor complexity with smoky and savory notes. Cooling on a clean towel allows them to crisp further for a satisfying crunch.
They make a convenient, flavorful snack or a crunchy component to salads or bowls. For extra heat, cayenne pepper can be added to the seasoning mix, adjusting the spice level to taste.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ TBSP sriracha
- 1 TBSP avocado oil or olive oil
- 15 oz chickpeas canned
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Drain and rinse chickpeas in a strainer, then pour out on a few paper towels to dry. Pat them as needed.
- In a medium bowl, add Sriracha, avocado oil, and chickpeas. Allow to marinate for 10 minutes.
- Pour chickpeas out onto your lined baking sheet and spread out evenly so they aren't crowding each other. Bake for 20 minutes, shaking the pan at the 10-minute mark to crisp all sides of the chickpeas.
- In a small bowl make your spice blend by combining paprika, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- While hot from the oven, sprinkle seasoning blend over chickpeas and toss well to coat. Transfer to a clean paper towel to cool. Chickpeas will crisp a bit more as they cool.
- Want even more Sriracha flavor? You can sacrifice a bit of the crunch by tossing the roasted chickpeas back in the bowl you mixed the sriracha in and mixing them up with the little bits of leftover chili sauce. They'll get a bit softer but will still taste great!
Notes
- Increase heat by adding 1/8 tsp ground cayenne pepper to the spice blend.
