Crispy Roasted Chickpeas
I make this snack at least weekly to munch on while catching up on my favorite TV shows. If I ever have any leftovers, I’ll just toss them in a salad in place of croutons. So easy and healthy!
What ingredients do I need to make Crispy Roasted Chickpeas?
- 2 cans of chickpeas
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic powder
Feel free to mix up the spices! I sometimes add a little chili powder and cayenne to spice it up a bit.
How to make Crispy Roasted Chickpeas
I like putting the sheet pan in the oven while preheating so the chickpeas will start crisping right away when placed on the pan. Next, rinse and dry the chickpeas with a paper towel. Let me repeat that, dry the chickpeas completely with a paper towel. This is the key step to getting the chickpeas nice and crispy. Next, place them in a medium bowl, add all of the ingredients, and stir until the chickpeas are evenly coated.
Lay the chickpeas in a single even layer on a rimmed pan. If you’re making a larger batch, use two pans to keep the single layer. The chickpeas just won’t get crispy enough otherwise.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and crispy. Let cool before removing from pan, then enjoy immediately. This snack is best when served immediately. The chickpeas will stay crispy for a few hours, but taste best when right out of the oven.
This tasty snack is a regular in my household. I love experimenting with different spices, so please drop a comment below if you have a good mix of spices I should try and how yours turn out!
