Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 15-ounce can garbanzo beans (240 g or 1.5 cups, drained and rinsed)
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for roasting the chickpeas to a crispy texture.
  2. Dry Chickpeas: Spread the drained garbanzo beans on a clean dish towel and pat them dry thoroughly. Removing excess moisture is crucial for achieving maximum crispiness.
  3. Season Chickpeas: Place the dried chickpeas in a medium bowl and add avocado oil, sea salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat each chickpea with the oil and spices for balanced flavor and texture.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a small rimmed baking sheet, preferably a 1/4 sheet pan, to allow for even roasting and airflow around the chickpeas.
  5. Roast Until Crispy: Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, shaking or stirring occasionally if desired, until the chickpeas turn golden brown and crispy. Oven times may vary, so watch closely during the last few minutes.
  6. Cool and Store: Remove the chickpeas from the oven and allow them to cool completely to maintain their crunch. Store in an airtight container, such as a mason jar, in a cool, dry place for up to 5 days.
  7. Serve: Enjoy these roasted chickpeas as a satisfying snack on their own or use them as a crunchy topping for soups, salads, or dips.

Notes

  • Drying the chickpeas thoroughly before roasting is key to achieving crispiness.
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet to prevent chickpeas from rolling off while baking.
  • You can experiment with additional spices like smoked paprika, cumin, or chili powder for varied flavors.
  • Store roasted chickpeas in an airtight container to keep them crisp for several days.
  • If chickpeas lose their crunch, a quick re-roast in the oven can help crisp them up again.
