Crispy Roasted Chickpeas
Roasted chickpeas are one of my favorite snacks and salad toppings.
They’re crispy, light, nutritious, and so easy to make!
You can make the classic style with a little olive oil and salt, or make my herb roasted chickpeas recipe by adding a few dried seasonings for a zesty flavor.
Whichever way you prefer, roasting chickpeas is the epitome of taking healthy snacks into your own hands.
Chickpeas are so nutritious!
1/2 cup of canned, reduced-sodium, chickpeas (garbanzos) gets you 5 grams of dietary fiber and 5 grams of protein.
I’ve seen some cans have as much as 6 grams of fiber and protein per 1/2 cup. That’s awesome!
I love numbers like that with super versatile ingredients like chickpeas.
You really can’t go wrong to always have multiple cans at the ready…and I do!
How to make crispy roasted chickpeas:
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375° and drain a can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) into a colander or strainer.
Step 2: Towel dry the chickpeas to remove all surface moisture (use a paper towel or flour sack towel).
Step 3: Toss chickpeas in extra virgin olive oil and dried seasonings; place in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Step 4: Bake chickpeas 30-45 minutes until crispy, tossing by shaking the pan at the halfway point.

You’ll be so happy to serve these to your family knowing they’re not made in a factory with too much salt, or refined sugar, or MSG, etc.
You make them and you control the ingredients = you win!

How to store baked chickpeas and how long do they last?
When baked to maximum crispiness with all moisture removed, I store roasted chickpeas in a mason jar at room temperature up to 1 week.
I do not recommend refrigerating or freezing roasted chickpeas because they won’t stay crispy.
