How to Make Crispy Roasted Chickpeas 

  • Rinse and drain the chickpeas and gently pat dry with a clean paper towel.
  • Toss with olive oil and seasonings.
  • Spread onto a single layer, being sure not to crowd the pan.
  • Roast until the chickpeas are crispy, stirring during the baking process, so they cook evenly.

The Best Seasoning for Crispy Chickpeas

I love a combination of garlic, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper for a spicy snack! They’re also delicious tossed with Italian seasonings like oregano, garlic, and parsley. For a completely different twist, toss with buffalo sauce and make these buffalo chickpea tacos!
