Spicy Roasted Chickpea Snacks
Spicy roasted chickpeas are a crispy, high-protein, and fiber-packed snack that’s perfect for satisfying crunchy cravings. They’re lightly spiced, roasted to perfection, and easy to customize. This healthy snack is gluten-free, vegan, and budget-friendly, making it an excellent alternative to chips or nuts.
Ingredients
1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and dried (or 1.5 cups cooked chickpeas)
1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (adds a smoky flavor)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin (adds depth of flavor)
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste for spice level)
½ teaspoon chili powder (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions
Total Time: 35-40 minutes (Prep: 5 min | Cook: 30-35 min)
Step 1: Prep the Chickpeas
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Drain, rinse, and thoroughly dry the chickpeas with a paper towel. Remove any loose skins for extra crispiness.
Step 2: Season the Chickpeas
3. In a bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cayenne, and chili powder until evenly coated.
Step 3: Roast
4. Spread chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
5. Roast for 30-35 minutes, shaking the pan every 10 minutes to ensure even crispiness.
6. Chickpeas are done when they are golden brown, crispy, and slightly cracked.
Step 4: Cool & Enjoy
7. Let the chickpeas cool for 5-10 minutes to crisp up further.
8. Enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes & Tips
Want extra crispy chickpeas: Dry them thoroughly before roasting, and leave the oven slightly open during the last few minutes.
Make them even spicier: by adding more cayenne or red pepper flakes.
Storage tip: Keep them in a loosely covered container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Avoid sealing them tightly, as they may lose crispiness.
Serving ideas: Use as a salad topping, in grain bowls, or as a crunchy garnish for soups.
