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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the chickpeas.
- Dry Chickpeas: Spread the drained chickpeas on a clean dish towel and pat them as dry as possible. Removing moisture helps achieve maximum crispiness.
- Season Chickpeas: In a medium bowl, combine the dried chickpeas with avocado oil, sea salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat each chickpea evenly with the oil and spices.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Transfer the seasoned chickpeas onto a small rimmed baking sheet, such as a 1/4 sheet pan, spreading them out evenly for uniform roasting.
- Roast Chickpeas: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Roast until the chickpeas turn golden brown and crispy.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the chickpeas to cool completely on the baking sheet, which helps them crisp up even more.
- Store: Once cooled, store the roasted chickpeas in an airtight container like a mason jar at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy them as a crunchy snack or sprinkled over salads, dips, or soups.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, make sure to remove as much moisture as possible from the chickpeas before roasting.
- Oven temperatures vary, so keep an eye on the chickpeas after 25 minutes to prevent burning.
- Customize flavors by adding other spices such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain crunchiness.
- Perfect for a healthy, high-protein snack alternative to chips.
