Crispy Roasted Chickpeas

When my sister and I were kids, we spent a lot of time at my Grandparents' farm. Our 3 favorite things about going to the farm?

  1. Grandma
  2. Their dog, Pepper
  3. The snacks

They had a room in the basement that we called the confectionary- and it had all the best snacks! To name a few- Grandma's canned raspberries (so good!), Bounty bars, Half and Half Cookies, Mike and Ikes and salted corn nuts!

We would easily polish off a package of corn nuts in a weekend.

These crispy roasted chickpeas remind me of those corn nuts but are much healthier. Baked and full of protein, they are a great snack when you are looking for something crunchy! They are also delicious as croutons in soup or on top of salads.

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
  • Sea Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Garlic Powder

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 Crispy 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.

Crispy Roasted Chickpeas Variations

These Crispy Roasted Chickpeas are very lightly seasoned, so feel free to play around with different spices to make different flavours! Or try these Cajun Roasted Chickpeas for a spicier twist.

Tips and Tricks

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.
