Roasted Chickpea Snack Recipe

Middle Eastern · Snack · 45 min total

A crunchy, savory snack made from canned chickpeas roasted with spices. Perfect for a healthy, protein-packed treat.

Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Pat chickpeas dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, removing as much moisture as possible.
3. In a bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil, salt, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne (if using) until evenly coated.
4. Spread chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Roast for 30-40 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden brown and crunchy.
6. Let cool completely on the baking sheet; they will crisp up further as they cool.

Tips

• For extra crunch, remove the skins from the chickpeas before roasting.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
• Experiment with different spice blends like curry powder or za'atar.
