Sumac and Spice Roasted Chickpeas Recipe
Description
Sumac and Spice Roasted Chickpeas Recipe features canned chickpeas dried thoroughly before seasoning to ensure crispiness. The blend of sumac, paprika, cayenne, cumin, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper complements the natural nuttiness of the chickpeas. Olive oil helps the spices adhere and promotes even roasting. Baking at 425°F for 20-30 minutes with occasional shaking crisps the chickpeas evenly without burning.
The flavor profile balances the tangy brightness of sumac with the smoky sweetness of paprika and a gentle heat from cayenne. The cumin adds earthiness while salt and pepper enhance overall taste. The result is a crunchy snack with vibrant colors and bold seasoning.
These roasted chickpeas make a versatile snack on their own or can be added to salads and grain bowls for texture. Store them at room temperature in an airtight container to maintain crunch for about a week. If they soften, reheating in the oven quickly refreshes their crispness.
Ingredients
- 2 14- ounce chickpeas drained and rinsed, canned
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons sumac
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin ground
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the rinsed chickpeas in a flour sack or other absorbent kitchen towel. Gently roll and pat until the clean kitchen towel has absorbed all the excess moisture from the chickpeas.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil and spices. Add the chickpeas and toss well to coat them with the spices. Transfer the seasoned chickpeas to the baking sheet and arrange them in a single layer.
- Roast for 20-30 minutes, checking halfway through to shake the pan and turn the chickpeas. Remove from the oven once the chickpeas are light and crispy. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Drain and rinse canned chickpeas thoroughly, then dry them fully before seasoning to ensure crisp roasting.
- Store roasted chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature; they remain fresh and crunchy for about one week.
- To re-crisp softened chickpeas, roast in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes spreading them on a baking sheet.
