CRISPY ROASTED CHICKPEAS

Crispy roasted chickpeas are the perfect high-protein, fibre-rich snack that is both nutritious and satisfying. Seasoned with smoky paprika, garlic powder and a touch of olive oil, these chickpeas become delightfully crunchy when roasted. They are a great alternative to processed snacks and can be enjoyed on their own, sprinkled over salads or even added to grain bowls for extra texture. Not only are they delicious, but they are also packed with plant-based protein and gut-friendly fibre. This simple recipe requires minimal ingredients and delivers maximum flavour, making it ideal for meal prepping or quick snacking.

TIPS

Here are some tips to help you prepare this crispy roasted chickpeas.

  • Dry Thoroughly: Excess moisture prevents crispiness, so pat them well.
  • Even Spacing: Avoid overcrowding on the baking tray to ensure even roasting.
  • Stir Halfway: Shaking the tray ensures all sides crisp up evenly.
  • Season After Baking: For an extra flavour boost, add more seasoning immediately after roasting.
  • Longer Roasting = Crunchier Chickpeas: If you like them extra crunchy, roast for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Store Properly: Keep them in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.

VARIATIONS

  • Spicy Version: Add 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper for a fiery kick.
  • Cheesy Flavour: Sprinkle with nutritional yeast for a dairy-free cheesy taste.
  • Herb-Infused: Toss with dried oregano or thyme for a herby twist.
  • Sweet & Spicy: Mix in a drizzle of maple syrup and chilli powder for a unique flavour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days for the best texture.
  • Avoid Refrigeration: Chilling makes them lose their crispiness.
  • Reheat For Crunch: If they soften, reheat in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5-7 minutes.
  • Make In Batches: Double the recipe for a week’s worth of healthy snacking.
  • Use As Toppers: Add them to salads, soups or grain bowls for a crunchy texture.
