CRISPY ROASTED CHICKPEAS (THAT STAY CRISPY!)



Crispy Roasted Chickpeas (That Stay Crispy!) image

This crispy roasted chickpeas recipe is the perfect salty, crunchy healthy snack! They're spiced with chili powder and cumin.

Provided by Sonja Overhiser

Categories     Snack

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 15-ounce cans chickpeas (or 3 cups cooked chickpeas)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Rinse and drain the chickpeas, shaking off as much water as possible. Place them on a towel and pat gently to dry. Place another towel on top, then use your hands to rub the chickpeas and remove as many of the chickpea skins as possible. Do this once or twice; it should only take a few minutes and it's not necessary to remove all of the skins.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together chickpeas with the olive oil, chili powder, black pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, and kosher salt.
  • Pour chickpeas onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread them into a single layer. Bake for about 45 to 60 minutes until crispy and dry, shaking the pan every 15 minutes. The exact bake time depends on the chickpea brand and your oven, so watch closely in the final minutes, taste test, and remove when the chickpeas are browned but before they become very dark and hard. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before storing; the chickpeas will crisp up even more as they cool.
  • Allow to cool. Store in an airtight container in a dry cupboard for up to 1 week.

CRISPY SPICED CHICKPEAS



Crispy Spiced Chickpeas image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 medium dried arbol chiles
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Two 19-ounce cans chickpeas, rinsed and well drained
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • 1. Place the chiles in a spice grinder and grind until fine. Add the salt, lime zest and sugar. Pulse a few more times until well combined and set aside.
  • 2. Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on paper towels and pat dry. Heat 3/4 inch of oil in a heavy-bottomed shallow pot or small Dutch oven to 375 degrees F. Carefully add the chickpeas in small batches, about a cup per batch, to the oil. (The oil will bubble up for a few seconds.) Fry, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined tray and immediately sprinkle with some of the chile salt. Cool slightly and serve.
  • Chef's Note: The chickpeas can be fried 2 to 3 days ahead of time. Cool without the chile salt and store in a sealed plastic container. Before serving, spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast in a 400-degree F oven until sizzling and crispy. Season with the chile salt, cool and serve.

CRISP SPICED CHICKPEAS



Crisp Spiced Chickpeas image

Canned chickpeas bear a closer resemblance to cooked-from-dried than any other canned bean: They're sturdy enough to withstand additional cooking without falling apart. Even after a 20-minute sizzle in a skillet with olive oil, they stay intact, their exteriors turning crunchy while their insides become creamy. Serve these as a party snack instead of roasted nuts, and you'll have a hit. (The New York Times)

2 cups cooked or canned chickpeas, well drained and blotted dry on paper towels
1 teaspoon pimentón, cumin, curry powder or a combination

CRISPY SPICED CHICKPEAS WITH PEPPERS AND TOMATOES



Crispy Spiced Chickpeas With Peppers and Tomatoes image

This vegetarian sheet-pan supper has verve to spare. You will need two sheet pans to make it, but that's about all the kitchen equipment necessary. On one of them, spice-coated chickpeas are roasted until golden and crisp, while juicy peppers, tomatoes and onions caramelize on the other. Handfuls of bright fresh herbs and sweet pomegranate seeds add color and crunch. Serve this by itself for a light dinner, or with couscous or rice for something more substantial.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, weeknight, grains and rice, salads and dressings, vegetables, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, rinsed and patted dry
1/2 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
1 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
6 fresh thyme sprigs
2 red, orange or yellow bell peppers (or a combination), stems and seeds removed, sliced lengthwise 1/4-inch thick
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 small red onion, sliced
2 jalapeños, stem and seeds removed, sliced
Juice of 1 lemon
1 garlic clove, finely grated or mashed to a paste
1 cup fresh herbs (any combination of parsley, cilantro, mint or dill)
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
Couscous or rice, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees and arrange racks on the top and bottom thirds of the oven.
  • In a large bowl, toss chickpeas with 2 tablespoons oil, the cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt until evenly coated. Spread onto a rimmed sheet pan in a single layer and top with 3 thyme sprigs.
  • On a second sheet pan, combine bell peppers, tomatoes, onion, jalapeños and remaining thyme sprigs with 2 tablespoons oil and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread vegetables into one layer.
  • Place chickpea pan on the bottom rack and vegetables on the top rack and roast for 10 minutes. Switch pan positions. Roast chickpeas until crisped but still tender, about 5 minutes, and roast vegetables until golden brown, about 10 minutes. If the vegetables are tender but not browned, place the pan under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to caramelize. Discard thyme sprigs.
  • While the chickpeas and vegetables roast, whisk lemon juice, garlic and remaining 1/4 cup oil in a small bowl. Season with salt to taste.
  • Arrange vegetables on a large platter and drizzle with half the dressing, then top with crispy chickpeas, fresh herbs and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle remaining dressing over everything. Serve with couscous or rice, if you like.

Tips:

  • Use dried chickpeas. Dried chickpeas are more flavorful and have a better texture than canned chickpeas.
  • Soak the chickpeas overnight. This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
  • Rinse the chickpeas thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any dirt or debris.
  • Add salt to the cooking water. This will help the chickpeas retain their shape and flavor.
  • Cook the chickpeas until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked chickpeas will be mushy.
  • Drain the chickpeas and let them cool before using. This will help them absorb the spices better.
  • Use a variety of spices to flavor the chickpeas. Some good options include cumin, coriander, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Roast the chickpeas in a hot oven until they are crispy. This will give them a delicious crunchy texture.
  • Serve the chickpeas as a snack, salad topping, or main course. They are also a great addition to soups and stews.

Conclusion:

Crunchy spiced chickpeas are a delicious and healthy snack or meal. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With their combination of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, chickpeas are a nutritious addition to any diet. The next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, try these crunchy spiced chickpeas. You won't be disappointed!
