Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Crispy Roasted Chickpeas are a yummy high protein and high fiber snack or topping. Munch on them plain or add them to salads, wraps, or soup for extra flavor and crunch! I first shared this recipe on Lil’Luna where I was a contributor.

Oven Roasted Chickpeas

I love chickpeas so much I could eat them straight out of the can. Roasted Chickpeas are even better! They’re flavorful and have the perfect crispy texture that keeps you coming back to munch on more.

Snack on them plain or add them to things like gyros and kale salad for extra flavor and crunch.

This recipe uses canned chickpeas for ease but you could also start from dried and cook them according the the package. The important thing is to rinse and dry them thoroughly. The dryer the beans, the crispier they get!

Learn out to Roast Chickpeas until they’re perfectly crispy! Season to your liking and enjoy plain or in salads, wraps, soups…

  1. Drain & Rinse

    Drain and then rinse the canned chickpeas. You can stop rinsing the peas when there are no longer bubbles.

  2. Dry

    Pour the rinsed beans onto a towel and dry them off as well as possible and then spread onto a rimmed baking sheet.

  3. Roast

    Bake the beans for 20 minutes at 400 degrees F. Be sure to give the pan a shake halfway through cooking.

  4. Season

    Carefully pour the beans into a heat safe bowl and then drizzle on the oil. Use a spoon to toss the beans and coat them in the oil. Sprinkle on all the spices and toss again.

  5. Roast Again

    Pour the beans back onto the pan and roast for 10-15 more minutes until crispy. Again, shake the pan halfway through.

FAQS

What are Chickpeas?

Chickpeas are a legume, also commonly referred to as Garbanzo Beans. They are often found in Indian and middle eastern dishes. Chickpeas are used to make hummus and falafel and can often be found in gyros, curry, salads, and soups.

Why do I have to roast them twice?

Roasting before adding the seasoning is required to make crispy chickpeas. Adding the oil in the beginning prevents the moisture in the chickpea from escaping.

What other seasonings can I use?

You could seasoning these with just salt or try one of these versions:
Curried: 1 teaspoon curry powder + 1/2 teaspoon cumin + 1/2 teaspoon turmeric + 1/8 cayenne pepper
Salt & Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon salt + 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garlic: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder + 1/8 teaspoon onion powder + 1/2 teaspoon salt

Can I use a different kind of oil?

Yes! Any oil will work- vegetable, canola, avocado, coconut…

How to store roasted chickpeas?

Store the chickpeas at room temperature in a container that is loosely covered or cracked open for up to 3 days.

TOOLS USED TO MAKE ROASTED CHICKPEAS:

  • Half-Sheet Pan– I LOVE these pans. I’ve had the same 4 pans since I got married (10 years ago) and they are in great condition. I use them all the time for sheet cakes, cookies, roasting vegetables, baking chicken…
  • Pyrex Mixing Bowls with Lids- I love my mixing bowls with lids because then I am able to stack things up with the fridge. Plus, glass is nice for when I need to microwave whatever is in it.
  • Measuring Spoons– These are my favorite measuring spoons! They are so durable, beautiful, and include a 1/2 tablespoon and a 3/4 teaspoon.
