These Roasted Chickpeas are crispy, savory, and packed with flavor. Perfect as a healthy snack, salad topping, or crunchy addition to grain bowls, they’re easy to customize with your favorite spices and ready in under 40 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and drain and rinse the chickpeas.
Spread the chickpeas on a kitchen towel and gently pat them dry. Make sure they are completely dry before roasting to help them crisp properly. Remove any loose skins.
Transfer the chickpeas to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Toss with olive oil and sea salt until evenly coated.
Roast for 20–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and, while still warm, toss with paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, cumin, or your favorite spice blend.
Let cool slightly before serving for maximum crunch.
Notes
Roasted chickpeas are best enjoyed the same day for optimal crispiness.
Store loosely covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Avoid refrigerating, as they become chewy quickly.
Experiment with spice blends like curry powder, ranch seasoning, chili lime, or Cajun seasoning.
