Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are a great source of protein and fiber. This makes chickpeas a satisfying snack that will tide you over ’til your next meal. They are best known for their role in making hummus, but can also be used in soups, stir fries, and salads. My new favorite way to eat them though is roasted.

Roasted Chickpeas 3 Ways

Roasted chickpeas are so easy to make–all you need is a little salt and olive oil and you are set. (See the recipe at bottom of the blog for Basic Roasted Chickpeas.) Roasted chickpeas are great on their own or spiced up with fun seasonings. Their mild flavor makes them the perfect canvas for a variety of toppings from sweet, salty, and savory to spicy and sour.

Buffalo Roasted Chickpeas

6- 8 Tbsp of your favorite buffalo sauce
¼ tsp salt

After the chickpeas have finished roasting, add 2 Tbsp of buffalo sauce to the chickpeas. Stir to coat. Place back in the oven for 3-4 minutes until the hot sauce has dried. Repeat this step 2 to 3 times, until chickpeas reach desired flavor. Sprinkle with salt. Let cool and store in an air tight container.

Parmesan, Garlic, and Rosemary Roasted Chickpeas

1 tsp chopped garlic
½ tsp chopped fresh rosemary
2 Tbsp shredded parmesan
¼ tsp salt

While the chickpeas are roasting, combine garlic, rosemary, parmesan, and salt in a medium sized bowl. Take chickpeas out of the oven and let cool for a minute. Place the chickpeas in the parmesan mixture and coat well. Spoon the coated chickpeas back on the baking tray. Place back in the oven for 2-5 minutes. This step is not necessary. This just helps the cheese crisp and the toppings stick better. Let cool and store in an air tight container.

Chili Lime Roasted Chickpeas

2 tsp chili powder
½ Tbsp lime juice
1 tsp cumin
¼ salt

While the chickpeas are roasting, combine chili powder, lime juice, cumin, and salt in a medium sized bowl. Take chickpeas out of the oven and let cool for a minute. Place the chickpeas in the chili lime mixture and coat well. Spoon the coated chickpeas back on the baking tray. Place back in the oven for 2-5 minutes. This step is not necessary. This just helps the toppings stick better. Let cool and store in an air tight container.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rinse and drain chickpeas. Evenly spread the chickpeas on a paper towel to try (approximately 15 minutes). Once chickpeas have dried, coat them with olive oil. Spoon the chickpeas onto a baking pan, sprinkle with salt, and place in the oven. Bake 45 to 60 minutes.
2. Every 15 minutes, take them out of the oven and stir to ensure that the chickpeas cook evenly.
3. To check for “crispness”- take the chickpeas out of the oven, and let sit for a minute. Try one of the chickpeas. If it is crunchy, they are done and are ready for seasoning. If it is chewy, place back in the oven and continue cooking. Continue testing like this until all chickpeas are crisp and crunchy.
4. Follow the directions in the body of the blog to learn how to make 3 additional variations: Buffalo, Chili Lime, and Garlic Parmesan Rosemary.
