    I'm obsessed with these roasted chickpeas! Legumes are one of the most fundamental foods a vegan diet can have. They are a great source of protein and also very cheap.

    They're also so versatile you can eat them in plenty of different dishes, such as soups, salads, rice, or as a healthy snack.

    I’ve used some spices and extra virgin olive oil to make a delicious and tasty recipe. Besides, they are so crispy and you can eat them as a snack, an appetizer or even add them into your soups to make a more complete meal.

    These roasted chickpeas are a simple, inexpensive and easy-to-make appetizer. Savory, nutritious and full of protein, this recipe is only made with chickpeas, olive oil, salt, and some spices, that's all!

    How to make roasted chickpeas - Step by step

    Step by step photos of how to make roasted chickpeas at home
    • Preheat the oven to 375ºF or 190ºC.
    • Spread the chickpeas onto a lined baking sheet and bake the chickpeas for 30 minutes (photo 1).
    • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and stir the chickpeas every 10 minutes, that way they will be super crispy (photo 2).
    • After the 30 minutes, remove from the oven, put the chickpeas into a bowl and add all the remaining ingredients. Stir until well mixed (photo 3).
    • Bake for 10-15 more minutes and remove from the oven (photo 4).
    • Enjoy them hot or cold!

    Pro tips

    • It’s very important to eliminate the excess of water very well before baking the chickpeas.
    • Dry the chickpeas with a dishcloth or a kitchen towel so it’s easier to eliminate the excess of water.
    • Bake them alone (with no other ingredients) to make sure they get the perfect crispy texture.
    • You can also use 1 and ½ cups of cooked chickpeas (250 g) instead of the can of chickpeas.
