Main Ingredients
  • 2 cans 15oz organic chickpeas The base of this recipe; packed with protein and fiber.
  • 2 tablespoons oil (avocado or olive oil) Helps achieve that crispy texture and adds healthy fats.

  • 1 teaspoon seasoning blend (use your favorite) Customize for taste; try Italian herbs, spice blends, or curry powder.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Open the cans of chickpeas, drain them, and rinse them under cold water to remove excess sodium.
  3. Gently pat the chickpeas dry using paper towels until they are as dry as possible.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with oil and a pinch of salt, ensuring an even coating.
  5. Pour the seasoned chickpeas onto a large, greased rimmed baking sheet, spreading them out in an even layer.
Cooking
  1. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes until they are deep golden brown and crispy.
  2. Remove from the oven and quickly toss with your chosen seasoning blend while warm.
Serving
  1. Allow the chickpeas to cool slightly, then serve immediately for the best texture.

Notes

For best results, ensure chickpeas are dried thoroughly before roasting. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, and consume shortly after roasting for maximum crispiness.
