    Cajun Roasted Chickpeas

    Published: Jun 16, 2021 by Janessa

    Have you tried Crispy Roasted Chickpeas yet? These Cajun Roasted Chickpeas are a spicy spin off. Seasoned with Cajun Seasoning, these are a crispy, healthy snack that definitely has some kick!

    Cajun Roasted Chickpeas - The Nessy Kitchen

    The Ingredients

    • Chickpeas- You can substitute 1 and ½ cups of dried chickpeas that have been cooked and cooled
    • Olive Oil- You could use another neutral oil such as vegetable or canola if needed
    • Cajun Seasoning- I typically use homemade Cajun Seasoning but if you have another Cajun or Creole seasoning on hand, you could use that. It may be may or less spicy so play around with it to suit your tastes.

    The Method

    1. Dry the chickpeas.
    2. Season and bake at 400 F for 20 minutes.
    3. Reduce oven temperature (the key to crispy instead of burnt!) to 300 F and continue baking until crispy.
    4. Enjoy!

    Leftover Storage

    Store leftover Cajun Roasted Chickpeas in a container for up to 1 week. If they get soft, place on a baking sheet and roast at 300 F for 10-15 minutes until nice and crisp.

    Dietary Notes

    If you have dietary restrictions, check the packaging of specific ingredients that you use to ensure they are compliant. This recipe is:

    • Dairy Free
    • Gluten Free
    • Nut Free
    • Vegetarian
    • Vegan

    Other Notes

    In order to dry the chickpeas, I rinse and drain them in a colander and then transfer them to the baking sheet and place it in the oven while it is preheating. I then remove the pan and let them cool enough to handle before seasoning them and proceeding with the recipe. Alternatively, you can dry the chickpeas in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.

    To make clean up easier, you can roast them on parchment paper.
