These crispy roasted chickpeas are easy to make in the oven! Add your favorite seasonings and roast them until they’re deliciously crunchy!

Oh my goodness. Stop what you’re doing because I’m about to show you your new favorite snack. Or salad topping. Or a side dish. Or whatever-you-want-to-call-it recipe. Heck, I’d probably eat these for dessert.

These spicy roasted chickpeas are salty, crunchy, tasty, and healthy. Plus, they’re quick and easy to make!

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!
