Spicy Roasted Chickpeas

This easy recipe yields the most crunchy and tasty healthy snack ever! Naturally vegan and gluten-free.

Ingredients

  • 2 15 ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  • After draining and rinsing your beans, lay them out in a single layer on a clean kitchen towel on your counter. Allow them to sit for at least one hour.
  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • Pat any remaining moisture from the chickpeas and lay them out in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Place them in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the olive oil over the beans. Add a few pinches of kosher salt and black pepper, to taste. Shake the pan well to get the chickpeas coated.
  • Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 15 to 20 minutes. Give the pan a shake a couple of times during roasting.
  • Remove the chickpeas once they are deeply golden and are crisp and crunchy.
  • In a small bowl, combine the spices, from the chili powder to the onion powder and give them a whisk.
  • Sprinkle the spices onto the chickpeas and give the pan a nice shake to distribute the mix.

Notes

These chickpeas will store well in a sealed glass jar in the pantry for about a day. After that, they'll just have a bit of a chewy texture. Which is fine…I still eat them that way!
Experiment with your favorite flavors. Use this method as a base.
These make more than a snack! Use them to dress up your salads and soups!
