I love chickpeas in cold salads, hummus, and even by themselves as oven-roasted chickpeas! They make the perfect healthy snack.
Making roasted chickpeas is so easy and far from rocket science!
Simply pre-heat the oven, drain, rinse, dry, and season. That's all the prep work needed before the chickpeas are lined on a baking sheet and placed in the oven for about 30 mins.
Read below for detailed instructions.
To make this recipe, you'll need the following ingredients.
Although this recipe is easy, you'll want to follow these tips to make sure your roasted chickpeas come out perfectly:
After rinsing the canned chickpeas, be sure to dry them as best as you can. Ensuring there is not any excessive water left on their surface will allow the olive oil and spices to coat them efficiently.
This will help to roast them to a golden brown finish.
After coating the chickpeas with olive oil and spices, be sure to spread them evenly on a baking sheet as a single layer. If your chickpeas are piled on top of one another, they won't cook fully and get toasted.
Roasted chickpeas don't have to be made exactly like this recipe. In fact, I encourage you to put your own spin on them. Here are some variations you could try:
Roasted chickpeas can be made sweet instead of savory. Instead of using the spices in this recipe, use a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. You could also substitute brown sugar for white sugar.
Another delicious sounding variation would be spicy chickpeas. Instead of using black pepper, use chili powder or paprika. You could also try salt, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes.
