Lis here – Looking for a crunchy, munchy healthy snack packed with protein? Look no further than this super simple recipe for roasted chickpeas (aka, garbanzo beans). You can season them any way you want and they’re going to come out great. I used Steak & Shake Seasoning on this batch, but next time I think a Cajun spice mix will be a winner.
Roasted Chickpeas
2 cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained well
3 tbsps. olive or canola oil
2 tbsps. of whatever seasoning blend you choose
Preheat oven to 450° F. Spread rinsed and drained chickpeas on paper towels and blot dry with another paper towel. Transfer the chickpeas to a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients. Toss well and spread on a jellyroll pan (baking sheet with short sides).
Bake 30-40 minutes, until golden, crunchy, and crisp. Keep an eye on them for the last 10 minutes to keep them from burning. Cool on pan, then transfer to a zip-top freezer bag or a lidded bowl.
What’s your favorite go-to healthy crunchy salty snack? I’m also partial to roasted green peas and edamame.
