How to Make Oven Roasted Chickpeas
Making these is simple and quick! Preheat your oven and open up a can of chickpeas. Drain, rinse, and pat them dry to remove any moisture for extra crunch.
Spread them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with paprika, garlic powder, and sea salt. Mix well to coat.
Roast in the oven, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are golden and crispy. Enjoy them as a tasty, crunchy snack!
Tips for Making Roast Chickpeas In Oven
Tip 1: Dry the chickpeas thoroughly before roasting. Moist chickpeas won't crisp up properly, so be sure to pat them dry.
Tip 2: Don’t overcrowd the chick peas on the baking sheet. There needs to be space for heat to circulate, so spread them evenly in a single layer.
Tip 3: Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. This helps them become even crispier as they cool.
FAQS For Baked Chickpea Recipe
Let the chickpeas cool completely before storing them. If they’re warm, moisture can get trapped in the container, which can make them lose their crunch.
Store chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. These are best enjoyed fresh, as they tend to lose their crispness over time.
If you prefer, you can cook dried chickpeas instead of canned ones. Just make sure to soak them overnight, then boil them until tender. Follow the same steps for roasting once they’re cooked.
Using dried chickpeas can give you a slightly firmer texture, but it does take extra time and work.
You can use curry powder, Italian seasoning, or powdered ranch mix for a twist.
If you like spicy flavors, add cayenne pepper or chili flakes. For a sweeter option, toss them with a bit of cinnamon and sugar after roasting.
