Description
Crispy Roasted Chickpeas are delicious, easy to make, and packed with protein. This vegan snack is super versatile and also makes for an amazingly crunchy topping for salads, grain bowls, and more. They genuinely could not be easier to make: rinse the canned beans, toss with spices, and roast until golden brown and crispy. We keep a jar in the pantry at all times!
Ingredients
- 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Drain the canned chickpeas in a colander and rinse under running water. Use a paper towel to pat completely dry.
- In a large mixing bowl, add chickpeas, oil, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned chickpeas evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast until golden brown and crispy, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
Notes
How to store: Once roasted, your crispy garbanzo beans can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-7 days. After that, they'll start to lose their crunch a bit.
How to reheat: You do not need to reheat your roasted chickpeas, but warming them up brings out their flavor and can make your salads and sandwiches even more enjoyable. The easiest method is to sautee them in a hot skillet for just a few minutes until they are warm to the touch.
