    oven roasted chickpeas on a white plate with a wooden spoon

    Is there anything better than enjoying a little crunchy and salty snack and don’t need to feel guilty about the calories or fat? Then these spiced roasted chickpeas are your solution.

    They are:

    Delicious

    Extra Crunchy

    Salty & Spicy

    High in Fiber, Protein, and Nutrients

    It’s a simple recipe to make in only 30 minutes. Plus, they can be store for a few days.

    I love to make oven roasted chickpeas as a healthy appetizer when I am having guest, as a TV snack, use it for my salad toppings or to make delicious healthy wraps with it.

    They are very versatile and can be used to pimp up so many dishes.

    Chickpeas are a great source of protein, especially when you are on a vegan diet. So why not make a batch of these to use it during the week? I am sure your kids will love this crunchy snack too!

    How to Roast Chickpeas

    The easiest way is to use canned chickpeas. If you use dried ones, you need to cook them first according to the label, which often takes a lot of time.

    You can peel the chickpeas if you prefer, but they are delicious too with the skin on and much easier to prepare. I didn’t have the feeling that they are crunchier or more delicious if peeled, but I tested it for you.

    What’s important, is that you rinse them thoroughly.

    Also, make sure that you are using a large enough baking sheet or baking dish. To make them crunchy, they need to fit in one layer and should not lay on each other during baking.

    Some recipes call to dry the rinsed chickpeas using a kitchen towel or paper towel, but I think this step is obsolete and can be skipped.

    *Don’t throw away the auafaba, the water in which the chickpeas are stored. You can use it to make this delicious and healthy vegan chocolate mousse.

    • Let the baked chickpeas cool in the oven. Therefore, stick a wooden spoon between the oven door to keep it ajar until the oven is completely cold. This step takes about 1 hour and makes your chickpeas extra crispy. Skip this step if you are in a hurry.

      The flavor is good but like the other comments, mine did not get crispy. I followed the recipe exactly. Propped the oven open with a wooden spoon, turned off the oven, and let it cool completely. Should they roast longer? Higher temperature?

        Hi Chelsi, I am sorry to hear that. The chickpeas (brand) might also have an impact! 🤷‍♀️ Yes, absolutely. Try roasting them for a bit longer, or you could dry the chickpeas before baking using a tea or paper towel.

        Hi Barb, did you skip step number 3? This step is crucial for crispy chickpeas and takes about an hour.

        Mine came out good, after following all the instructions I broiled 2 or 3 minutes more to make them crispier, you just have to keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t burn. Turned out really good thank you.

        Hi Stacey, if you have followed the recipe instructions correctly, they should turn out crispy. Did you leave them to cool in the oven for about 1 hour after baking? This step is very important for super crispy roasted chickpeas!
