  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Spicy Roasted Chickpeas

  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

BBQ Roasted Chickpeas

  • 1 can (14 oz) chickpeas drained, rinsed, and patted dry
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Sweet & Salty Roasted Chickpeas

  • 1 can (14 oz) chickpeas drained, rinsed, and patted dry
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Indian-Spiced Roasted Chickpeas

  • 1 can (14 oz) chickpeas drained, rinsed, and patted dry
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Rinse and drain your chickpeas, then pat them completely dry. It's okay if the shells come off! You can remove them all or leave whatever ones stay on, it won't make a difference.
  • Toss the chickpeas in olive oil then in your chosen seasoning and spread them out evenly on a baking sheet.
  • Roast for 35-45 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. *If you're making the sweet & salty, add the maple syrup and salt halfway through baking to avoid burning the syrup. 
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Make sure you pat the chickpeas completely dry with a dish towel or paper towels.
Spread the chickpeas out in one layer! Make sure none on top of each other and try to keep them from touching/getting stuck together. This will help the chickpeas get crispy on all sides.
Shake the baking sheet halfway through cooking. This will turn the chickpeas over and let them get roasted evenly.
Don't skip the olive oil, seriously! It will help the chickpeas get a nice, crispy exterior.
