You’ll love this Roasted Chickpeas recipe! So quick and easy to prepare. An easy and super-flavorful snack that’s actually GOOD for you!
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 (15 oz.) can chickpeas (a.k.a. garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
- pinch or two of salt to taste
Other seasoning ideas instead of smoked paprika:
- chipotle powder
- chili powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 360F. Drain, rinse and blot the chickpeas dry with a paper towel. (You want to remove as much excess moisture as possible!) Pour the chickpeas into a bowl, and stir in all of the other ingredients until evenly coated.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 40-50 minutes, stirring the chickpeas every 10-15 minutes. The chickpeas should be dry and crisp on the outside, but still have the slightest chew when initially tasted. (But they will continue to cook and dry a bit more once removed from the oven.)
- Let cool for about 10 minutes on the sheet, then serve or store in an airtight container
I keep meaning to make these. I love snacking too, especially more virtuous snaking. :)
Ooooh great idea! I’ll be picking up a can of chickpeas this afternoon, these look wonderful!
Yum! I have seen a few recipes for roasted chick peas, but haven’t tried them yet. These look amazing… I will definitely be making some of my own very soon.
such a wonderful idea, I think I will try this tonight – sounds easy and delicious. Thanks!!
Hi :-) I just made these with cajun seasoning. They aren’t as pretty as yours, I think I cooked them a little too long, but they ~are~ good. The more I pick at them the more they grow on me, I can see myself working these into my diet. Some of mine ‘popped’ when I was stirring and that startled me quite a bit, even with your warning, lol. Thanks for the recipe!
I have made these several times but they never come out very good. I am going to try again, maybe I didn’t blot off enough water? I’ll let you know. BTW, Heather at Breakup Cookbook led me here with that shrimp dish. Yum!!!
I love this recipe! I tried it last night and just posted it on my blog, I mention you here http://foodiesatworkdotcom.blogspot.com/2010/02/roasted-chickpeas.html
