Savory Oven Roasted Chickpeas

These savory oven roasted chickpeas are a high-fiber, flavorful snack that are rich with vitamins and minerals.

While commonly known as chickpeas, they may go by the name “Garbanzo beans” depending on the brand you choose – but know that these two are one and the same.

These legumes are an excellent source of plant-based protein, making them a great standalone snack or a perfect complement to a Caesar Salad or a vegetable rice bowl. Their protein content also promotes a feeling of fullness, aiding in appetite control and weight management.

Crafting these savory oven-roasted chickpeas is a breeze, requiring minimal effort and time – they’ll be ready in under an hour! To achieve the necessary crispy texture, it’s essential to ensure the chickpeas are completely dry before cooking. Additionally, It’s crucial to bake the chickpeas for an initial session before adding any oil or spices so that they are completely dried out.

These high-fiber snacks are:

• Easy to prepare
• Nutrient-dense
• Rich in vitamins and minerals
• Crispy and crunchy
• Irresistibly delicious

Start Cooking

Get started by preheating the oven to 400 degrees.

Once chickpeas are completely dried out, add them to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. While they are baking, get your spices together and add them to a bowl. I use paprika, curry powder, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, sea salt, and pepper. This combination of spices creates a delicious flavor of savory oven roasted chickpeas, but feel free to use your favorite spices. Once the chickpeas have baked for 15 minutes, remove from the oven and add olive oil on top. Then add chickpeas to the spice bowl and mix thoroughly.

Lay the chickpeas back out on the pan and cook for another 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Turn the oven off but leave the chickpeas inside with the oven open. Once they reach desired crispiness, remove from oven. Let cool and serve.
