Ingredients
2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon ground sumac
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
- Prep oven and baking sheet. Heat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Rinse, drain and dry the chickpeas. Rinse the chickpeas thoroughly in a colander until they are no longer foamy and the water runs clear. Drain thoroughly. Spread the chickpeas out on a clean towel and rub the chickpeas thoroughly with the towel to dry them off as much as possible, discarding any skins that happen to fall off while drying.
- Season. Transfer the chickpeas to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle evenly with the olive oil, then sprinkle on the sumac, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper and toss gently until evenly coated.
- Bake. Spread the chickpeas out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes, pausing to shake the pan briefly at the 15- and 30-minute mark, or until the chickpeas feel dry and crispy to the touch. (Although please note that they will continue to crisp up even more as they cool after baking.)
- Serve. Serve immediately, or store in a jar or bowl uncovered (or lightly covered with a thin kitchen towel or paper towel) at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Are you in search of a healthy snack that can satisfy your cravings and keep you energized throughout the day? Look no further than our roasted chickpeas recipe! These crunchy little bites are super simple to make and pack a punch of flavor.
To get started, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Drain a can of chickpeas and rinse them under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel and remove any loose skins. Place the chickpeas in a bowl and drizzle them with a tablespoon of olive oil. Add your favorite spices – we recommend a mix of paprika, garlic powder, and cumin – and toss until the chickpeas are evenly coated.
Spread the chickpeas out in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-30 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown. Be sure to give the pan a shake every 10 minutes or so to prevent the chickpeas from sticking and to ensure even roasting.
Once they’re done, let the chickpeas cool for a few minutes before serving. These roasted chickpeas make a great snack on their own, or you can add them to salads, soups, or wraps for a nutritious crunch. They’re high in fiber, protein, and other essential nutrients, making them a healthy and satisfying snack for any time of day.
