Roasted Everything Bagel Chickpeas Recipe

Introduction

Roasted Everything Bagel Chickpeas are a crunchy, savory snack that’s perfect for satisfying your cravings with a healthy twist. Easy to make and packed with flavor, these chickpeas are seasoned with the iconic everything bagel spice blend for a deliciously addictive treat.

Ingredients

• 2 cans chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons everything but the bagel seasoning

Instructions

1. Step 1: Lay out dry towels and place the rinsed chickpeas on them to dry. If the chickpeas still have their white skins, gently rub or roll them to help remove the skins—this will result in crispier chickpeas. Let them dry completely for a few hours.
2. Step 2: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Step 3: Toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil and the everything bagel seasoning until evenly coated. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
4. Step 4: Roast the chickpeas for 25 minutes in the preheated oven.
5. Step 5: Remove the baking sheet and toss the chickpeas to ensure even roasting. Return to the oven and roast for another 10-20 minutes, checking frequently after 10 minutes to remove any chickpeas that are getting too dark.
6. Step 6: Take the chickpeas out of the oven and let them cool completely before enjoying.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crispiness, remove as many chickpea skins as possible before roasting.
• Try using smoked paprika or chili powder with the seasoning for a spicy twist.
• If you don’t have everything but the bagel seasoning, mix sesame seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and poppy seeds as a substitute.

Storage

Store roasted chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days to maintain crispiness. If they soften, you can re-crisp them in a 350-degree oven for 5-10 minutes before serving.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use dried chickpeas instead of canned?

Yes, but you’ll need to soak and cook dried chickpeas fully before roasting. This adds extra time but results in a similar texture.

Why do my roasted chickpeas turn out soggy?

Make sure the chickpeas are thoroughly dried before roasting and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet. Removing skins also helps achieve a crunchier texture.

Chickpeas

• 2 cans chickpeas (rinsed and drained)

Seasoning

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Everything But The Bagel seasoning

Instructions

1. Dry Chickpeas: Layout dry towels and put the rinsed chickpeas on them to dry. If your chickpeas still have the white skins on them, roll them around to help remove them. Pulling them off will give you crispier chickpeas. Allow the chickpeas to fully dry for a few hours; the drier they get, the crispier your roasted chickpeas will turn out.
2. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting.
3. Season Chickpeas: Toss the dried chickpeas in olive oil and Everything Bagel seasoning until evenly coated. Then lay them in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
4. Initial Roast: Roast the chickpeas in the preheated oven for 25 minutes to start crisping them up.
5. Toss and Continue Roasting: Remove the tray, toss the chickpeas to redistribute them, and place them back in the oven. Continue roasting for another 10-20 minutes, checking frequently after 10 minutes to remove any chickpeas that are getting too dark or burnt.
6. Cool and Serve: Remove the chickpeas from the oven once evenly roasted and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. Cooling helps them crisp up further before serving.

Notes

• Removing the chickpea skins before roasting results in crispier texture.
• Ensure chickpeas are completely dry before roasting to maximize crispiness.
• Watch closely in the last roasting phase to prevent burning.
• Store cooled chickpeas in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain crunchiness.
