Today I am going to share a super delicious and simple snack recipe that features one of my absolute favorite ingredients- chickpeas! Also known as garbanzo beans, these lovely little legumes are incredibly versatile. I love finding new ways to eat them, and have used them as the star ingredient to many of my recipes, from dips to curries to salads to gooey desserts! As a nutritious source of vegan protein, chickpeas are also packed with fiber and minerals.Aside from my beloved hummus, one of my favorite ways to enjoy chickpeas is roasting them with some tasty spices for a crunchy snack or salad topper. I have experimented with various different flavorings here, and decided that you really can’t go wrong!
- 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas (may be from 15 oz. can)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the flavorings.
- Spread evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, and roast 35-40 minutes, until crisp and golden, tossing a few times during baking to prevent uneven browning. Allow to sit and cool a bit before eating, if you can wait!
Just made these with some left over chickpeas and they were delish! Thanks! 🙂
I’m so glad you enjoyed them, Karli!
