Looking for a healthy, crunchy snack? Roasted Chickpeas are the answer! These protein-packed, savory bites are super easy to make and full of flavor. Perfect for munching on during the day or as a crunchy topping for salads and soups!
Ingredients
- 1 can 15 oz chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin optional
- Salt to taste
- A pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper optional for some heat
Instructions
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the chickpeas:
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then pat them dry with a paper towel. The drier they are, the crispier they’ll get!
- Season the chickpeas:
- Toss the chickpeas in a bowl with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cumin (if using), and a pinch of salt. For a spicy kick, add chili powder or cayenne pepper!
- Roast:
- Spread the seasoned chickpeas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve:
- Let the chickpeas cool for a few minutes before enjoying. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
- Storage tip: Keep leftover roasted chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If they lose their crunch, re-roast them for a few minutes.
