Snack Time: Crunchy Roasted Chickpeas
Chickpeas aka Garbanzo Beans are low in fat and an awesome source of fiber and protein. Most people enjoy them whipped up into a nice hummus, but in our house we’ve been known eat them straight out of the can. This time we wanted to do something a little different.
We had great fun splashing around while we washed them.
We picked through them to remove loose skins, patted them dry and then spread them out on a nice big Silpat lined cookie sheet. We sprayed them with a little cooking spray, roasted them and then finished with a bit of sea salt.
They were such a big hit I could barely snap a picture in between my kid picking chickpea after chickpea out of the bowl. This after school snack recipe is a keeper for sure…
Crunchy Roasted Chickpea Recipe
Prep Time: 5 mins Cooking Time: 35 mins
Ingredients:
1 can chickpeas
olive oil cooking spray
pinch of sea salt or kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Drain and wash the chickpeas. Pick off any loose skin. Pat dry and spread out over a Silpat on a rimmed cookie sheet. Spray lightly with olive oil cooking spray and place in the center rack in the oven. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes and then give them a good shake. Continue to cook for another 15 to 20 minutes or until chickpeas are firm and crispy but not burned. If they aren’t crispy, keep cooking. They’re best when the crunch! Remove from oven, sprinkle with salt and then let cool.

We love roasted chickpeas too! Our next batch I am going to try a honey-chile coating.
These look yummy, we will try them too!
Never had a chickpea in my life, but this really looks like something my son would like!
What a great idea! I'm going to try this right now!
i make these all the time. they are the best snack {although i LOVE them warm right out of the oven}. i always try to season them differently and last night i made them with some lemon juice and sea salt. so delish!
That's a good idea! We were given some frozen ones, still green. Do you think this would work with them too?
Yes, I do think they'd work. They might be even better?
I have to try this today when the kids get home, looks delicious and healthy and easy!
so delicious, i wish i had some right now in the office!
looks super easy and yummy! putting them on my grocery list!
I am not a fan of chickpeas because of the tecture. This might get me to like them.
alright, going to soak my dry chick peas and get on this soon… i love the idea of trying different seasonings(i think i've seen someone do cinnamon sugar, which sounds really yummy)
I made some roasted chickpeas a few weeks ago. So delicious!! I also made a spicy version for myself with some Cheyenne pepper and they were fabulous!
I have just recently started to really like chickpeas.. this looks so good! What a great snack 🙂
I've been looking for some new snack ideas. Thanks!
I can't wait to try this. I love chickpeas!
Yum! Definitely trying this!
You're inspiring me to try these again. I tried them once, but I don't think I baked them long enough, so they weren't as crispy as I imagined. Great protein-filled snack, though!
I've never had a chickpea but those look yummy!
Can't wait to try these! My daughter just started 1st Grade, and you have been a great source of ideas for me!
great idea! cant wait to try!

Sounds delicious and creative!

yum!
Wow! Thats a great picture. Cant wait to try this for my kid. Thanks for the recipe!
These look yummy, we will try them too!
Never thought of this! Can't wait to try it as a wonderful way to save money on snack foods and eat healthier!
I've tried this several times, but have never achieved anything resembling crispy … I'll have to give it another try.
I love hummus and one of my girls does but the other two not so much. Maybe they would like these better. I can't wait to try them.
this is brilliant. and i really want them for a snack for myself 🙂
this is brilliant. and i really want them for a snack for myself 🙂
I really am anxious to see all your snack ideas. I typically bring special snacks for my grandkids birthday parties and whenever I host a party or cookout at my home I have something special for them.
I've tried making roasted chickpeas once before and it was a miserable failure, time to try again!
Genius! We ate fried Cheerios growing up (just Cheerios sauteed in butter) and this reminds me of that snack.
It's so great to see snack ideas like these, because they're easily adaptable to special diets–and chickpeas are so delicious and good for you! Thanks!
I made these a few weeks ago. They are a great snack!
I hated chickpeas as a kid. I think it's time to try them again. This recipe looks promising. I'll let you know how we do with them.
This sounds great! And I love the idea of mixing up the seasoning. I bet coriander seed or cumin would be good too. You could also use them in a cauliflower salad with cilantro and preserved lemon. I bet your kid would love learning how to make preserved lemon! http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/how_to_make_pres…
My husband loves these but usually I use a tablespoon or two of oil. I am going to try with the cooking spray to reduce the amount of oil. My hubby likes to call them "crack beans" because he gets addicted to them.
My son has never had a chickpea but he might try these.
These make a great snack–and for adults, delicious with a heavy sprinkling of pepper.
I want to love roasted chickpeas so much that I am going to try them again! Your picture looks delish and if Batman likes them I bet I will too!
I just got some chickpeas today, I will have to try this! It looks delicious 🙂
Wow! What a great idea. My kids won't eat hummus, but they just might love these.
I am definately trying this!
I love chickpeas so much, I may eat them all up before they even make it to the oven!
great idea! i love chickpeas but only one of my 4 will eat them when disguised as hummus. they love all things salty so we will give this a try!
what a great idea! my son loves the toy figures on the pictures!!!
I would never have thought of these for a snack. Thanks.
I am sooooo excited to try this! I have cans and cans of these beans and no plans for them. (Well, I had planned on putting them in the salads I was going to live on for my diet, but…well….you can guess how that turned out, seeing as there are still so many cans in my cupboard!) I think my 3 yo would actually eat these, too! He's 95% more willing to try simply because you put Batman in the photographs, so thanks for that 😉
While making this one, my kid gobbled up half the chickpeas before they hit the pan! Oh well, my daughter and I liked them roasted but hubby and son prefer them straight out of the can=) Trying out the granola next!
I just found your blog and I love it! What an awesome idea to include your child in everyday cooking! These chickpeas look delish – I don't think I'd be able to stop eating them either!
You may be tempted to make a big batch, but I have found they don't keep very well.
These just came out of the oven and my kids are devouring them. Thanks so much!!!
I made these last week and just polished off the last of them today. Great idea — Healthy and delicious!
I made a batch of these the other night, and they're delicious! A totally different texture than commercially made crispy chick peas I've had, definitely going to make them again and experiment with different spices.
I just made these tonight for the first time… They're very tasty! I'm a big fan of black beans and am thinking of trying out some roasted black beans. Has anyone else tried to use another bean besides the garbanzo bean/chicpea?
These were delicious! They boys thought that they were eating chips! They were like a cross between corn-nuts and just popped corn kernels. I think I will salt them initially since the salt didn't really stick after. Thanks for sharing!!
I make these with cumin and smoked paprika. Delicious and easy!
I make these with olive oil, lemon juice and sea salt. My kids and I can't get enough of them! They are great leftover in fridge, too. I like the idea of leaving them in longer till they're crunchy. Gonna try that.
I meant olive oil, lemon juice and SOY SAUCE!! That's what makes it a little different but so yummy.
