To Roast Chickpeas, How Style

I can’t quit roasted chickpeas. The oven genuinely works it’s magic, turning soft garbanzo beans into crispy crunchy goodness.

Last week I was making a recipe and I wanted to add some crunch without using any form of bread. My regular way to do this is by roasting chickpeas. So I decided to take some snaps and throw together a post showing you simply how to roast chickpeas.

Preheat your oven to 400℉ (or 200℃).

Start by draining and rinsing 1 (15 ounce) can of garbanzo beans (aka chickpeas) and pat dry with a kitchen towel.

Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of light olive oil.

Season with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and roast in your preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Only rotate halfway through roasting. And in no time you’ll have deliciously crunchy roasted chickpeas.

Toss in cinnamon sugar (you simply might not want to add the salt when roasting) or simply about any from-scratch spice blends you can think of.

The sky is the limit with the flavors that you can make roasted chickpeas. Sprinkle on soups, salads or eat as a healthy snack!

Enjoy! And if you give this dish a try, let me know! Snap a photo and tag me on twitter or instagram!
