Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This was delicious! I followed the recipe except for the cayenne pepper, since I didn’t have any and substituted with paprika. Nice, crunchy & highly recommended.

The first time I made these, they popped all over the oven like popcorn.  I experimented with cooking temperatures and methods, and have reduced the popping to a minimum.

But be warned, you may hear a few noises coming from your oven during roasting. The key is getting your chickpeas really dry before you roast them.

I like to rinse mine in a colander, and then lay them out on some paper towels to dry.

Most recipes for roasted chickpeas I’ve seen call for one can of chickpeas, but seriously, I would eat that many in about 10 minutes.  I can hardly wait for them to cool before I start digging in!

Feel free to change up the spices to your liking.  This sweet and spicy version is my favorite though.

Just make sure the chickpeas are nice and crunchy when you remove them from the oven.  Otherwise they tend to go a little soft when they’ve cooled.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these!!!

I’ve stored these in a Ziploc bag or covered container for a few days and they’ve held up well.

I’ve never managed to keep them around longer than that.  If roasting only one can of chickpeas, you’ll want to reduce the cooking time slightly.

Be sure to save this recipe to your favorite Pinterest board for later.
