Crispy roasted chickpeas are a delicious and healthy snack made by roasting garbanzo beans until golden and crunchy, then tossing them in flavorful sweet, ranch, and spicy seasoning blends for a perfectly balanced and satisfying treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Chickpeas and Oil

  • 3 (15 oz) cans organic low sodium garbanzo beans (1 can per flavor)
  • 1–2 tbsp olive oil

Sweet Seasoning

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

Ranch Seasoning

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp dried dill
  • ½ tsp dried parsley
  • ½ tsp salt

Spicy Seasoning

  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the chickpeas to a crispy texture.
  2. Drain and Rinse Chickpeas: Use a strainer to drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water to remove any canning liquid and excess salt.
  3. Dry Chickpeas: Lay the rinsed chickpeas on a kitchen towel and pat them dry, discarding any loose skins that fall off. Let them air dry completely to ensure crispiness during roasting.
  4. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. If using parchment, lightly spray the sheet with cooking oil like avocado oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Spread Chickpeas: Evenly spread the dried chickpeas over the baking sheet in a single layer for uniform roasting.
  6. Roast Chickpeas: Roast in the oven for 20-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Make Spice Mixes: While the chickpeas roast, combine the ingredients for the sweet, ranch, and spicy seasoning blends in separate small bowls and set aside.
  8. Divide Chickpeas: When roasted and hot, separate the chickpeas evenly into three bowls corresponding to the three flavors.
  9. Coat Ranch and Spicy Chickpeas: Add ½ to 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the bowls for ranch and spicy chickpeas and toss to coat. Then add their respective spice mixtures and toss again for full flavor coverage.
  10. Coat Sweet Chickpeas: Pour the maple syrup and cinnamon over the sweet chickpeas. Toss well to coat evenly, then return these chickpeas to the baking sheet and bake for another 5-10 minutes to set the sweetness and crisp them further.
  11. Serve: Serve all three varieties of crispy roasted chickpeas immediately for the best crunchy texture.

Notes

  • Make sure chickpeas are completely dry before roasting to maximize crispiness.
  • Adjust the spice amounts to your taste preference, especially cayenne for heat sensitivity.
  • You can use avocado oil or any neutral cooking oil if olive oil is unavailable.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container once cooled to keep them crunchy.
  • These chickpeas make a great gluten-free and vegetarian snack option.
