Crispy Roasted Chickpeas
Reader ratingsA crunchy, savory snack that satisfies the chip craving with fiber and protein instead.
Why it’s good for you
A high-fiber, high-protein alternative to chips that keeps blood sugar steadier and hunger at bay.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Drain, rinse, and thoroughly dry the chickpeas — rub them in a towel and discard any loose skins.
- Toss with the olive oil and spread on a sheet pan in a single layer.
- Roast 30–35 minutes, shaking the pan twice, until deeply golden and crunchy.
- Toss the hot chickpeas with the spices and salt.
- Cool completely so they crisp up fully, then store loosely covered.
Tips
- Drying the chickpeas well is the key to crunch — any moisture makes them chewy.
- They soften over time, so they are best within a day or two. Re-crisp in a hot oven for a few minutes.
