CRUNCHY ROASTED CHICKPEAS



Crunchy Roasted Chickpeas image

Make these crunchy chickpeas for an easy, healthy, flavor-packed snack! Salt and olive oil is all you need for the roasted chickpeas, but if you want to jazz them up, add some spices or seasoning as soon as they're out of the oven!

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Categories     Snack

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 15-oz cans chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
Extra virgin olive oil,
Kosher salt
Seasoning of your choice,

Steps:

  • Drain and dry chickpeas very well. Dry them up using some paper towels and leave them in a colander until they have dried as much as possible (OR you can spread them on a large baking sheet lined with paper towel for a while.)
  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees F and position a rack right in the middle.
  • Spread the chickpeas well on a bare baking sheet (do not line the baking sheet with parchment or foil.) Drizzle a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil and season with kosher salt. Toss chickpeas and make sure they are well-coated with the olive oil. Spread them out well on the sheet.
  • Roast in heated oven anywhere from 20 to 35 minutes, shaking the pan every 10 minutes or so for even cooking. Don't rush it, make sure the chickpeas turn a deeper golden brown and the exterior is nice and crispy, that's when they're ready.
  • Season roasted chickpeas. Once you take the chickpeas out of the oven, immediately season with spices of your choice. This time, I used za'atar, sumac, and harissa blend (up to 2 tsp each) for warm Middle Eastern and Moroccan notes. Play with the amounts to your liking, and change up the spices according to what you have. (see more flavor ideas up in the post)

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.

Tips:

  • Use dried chickpeas for the best results. If using canned chickpeas, be sure to drain and rinse them well before roasting.
  • Soak the chickpeas overnight or for at least 8 hours before roasting. This will help them to cook more evenly and prevent them from drying out.
  • Add some aromatics to the chickpeas before roasting, such as garlic, onion, or rosemary. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Roast the chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Toss the chickpeas occasionally during roasting to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Roast the chickpeas until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 30-45 minutes.
  • Let the chickpeas cool completely before storing them. This will help them to stay crispy.

Conclusion:

Roasting chickpeas is a great way to make a healthy and delicious snack. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and iron. Roasted chickpeas can be enjoyed on their own, added to salads, or used as a topping for soups and stews. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make perfectly dry roasted chickpeas at home.
