Crispy Roasted Chickpeas (the Perfect Healthy, Salty Snack)
The recipe is very simple. All you need is a can of chickpeas, a little lemon, olive oil and spices. I do it often and always with different spices, so feel free to be creative and add / subtract some of the above to personalize it to your liking.
Crispy chickpeas can be added to salads, as a snack or in other dishes. I often prepare it when I meal-prep and store it in the fridge to add to a meal and it instantly improves and enriches the taste to any dish.
In this recipe I use canned chickpeas that do not need to be boiled beforehand. Just note that they cannot be replaced with cooked chickpeas. The effect will not be the same as the canned chickpeas have a firmer structure and will not crumble during baking.
Crispy Roasted Chickpeas
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas
- juice of half a lemon
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- pinch of pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp ginger powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200º C, or 400º F and prepare a baking pan.
- Add the canned chickpeas to a strainer, rinse with cold water and strain. Add to a clean cloth and wipe to remove as much water as possible
- Peel the chickpeas. This step is optional (even without it they are delicious) and takes about 10 minutes more but I think it is worth it. The peel come out very easily, especially when the chickpeas are wiped in a cloth.Add the peeled chickpeas in a small bowl and add all the other ingredients.Stir well so that each ball of chickpeas is evenly covered with spices and olive oil.
- Add the mixture to the baking pan and arrange in a row. There should be some space between each ball of chickpeas to allow even and crispy baking.
- Bake for 10 minutes, remove from the oven, stir and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.Over time, the chickpeas should be crispy and golden. If not, bake for an additional 5 minutesIf not used immediately, leave to cool completely in the pan before storing in a closed container. Roasted chickpeas can be refrigerated for up to 5-6 days.
