Enjoy these crispy, well-seasoned roasted chickpeas as a standalone snack, or throw them on salad or pasta for an instant upgrade!

These roasted chickpeas come together quickly and make an amazing and satisfying snack. They also work well as a topping for salad or pasta. I've suggested some seasonings below, but you could easily sub those out for others if you prefer.

If you're making my Vegan Kamish Bread or Goldie's Vegan Potato Knishes, which call for aquafaba (the liquid from canned or cooked chickpeas), this recipe is a great way to make good use of those chickpeas!

How to make the crunchy roasted chickpeas

Gather your ingredients.

Instructions

Preheat the oven. Place the drained chickpeas on a clean towel and gently dry. Pour them into a medium bowl, add the olive oil and salt, and mix well using a spoon or your hands.

Transfer the chickpeas to a parchment-paper lined baking sheet, spreading them out in one layer. Roast for 24-28 minutes, keeping an eye on the chickpeas to ensure they do not get too well done. They should turn golden brown and crispy.

Remove the roasted chickpeas from the oven and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes, then transfer to a bowl and toss with garlic powder and smoked paprika. Serve immediately.

Storage

These crunchy roasted chickpeas are best served right away. If you need to store them, I recommend keeping them on the counter in a glass jar with the lid not quite sealed, or in another loosely covered container. Sealing them in an airtight container - either at room temperature or in the fridge - will make them mushy very quickly.
