    A lot of roasted chickpeas recipes include oil, so you can spread the spices easily, but we've used lemon juice because it's healthier and has less calories.

    How to make Chickpea Snack | simpleveganblog.com #vegan

    Last week we went to the movies  and I got sick because of the popcorn and Coca Cola Zero. I think it was because I rarely eat that kind of food, so I thought it would be a great idea to find an alternative snack lighter and healthier.

    If you are on a diet, you should try these spicy roasted chickpeas when you want a snack or when you want something healthy to eat while you're watching a movie at home, because it's easy to make and you can eat with no regrets. Some diets forbid chickpeas and other legumes, and I don't know why, there are a lot of healthy recipes using them.

        Hi Ashley! I store them in a sealed container at room temperature and they last for weeks 🙂

      They're really hard after roasting, almost as hard as the original dried chickpeas. I did them in an air fryer tumbler basket at about 180C for 30 minutes.

      Actually, we’re these hard crunchy or a softer textured snack.

      Hi, Iosune, thank you for this recipe! I have yet to try making roasted chickpeas, but I hope it works out, because I need some healthy snacks to have, on-hand. I have an insight as to why certain diets forbid beans, like chickpeas. It's because of plant substances called "lectins", which are "antinutrients" and are thought to affect a person's health. Lectins are in most grains, beans, nuts, and seeds and they're meant to protect the food from germinating, prematurely, but they can also be very hard to digest and prevent us from absorbing the nutrients of the food, properly. Soaking beans in water, then draining and cooking them, is thought to help remove most of the lectins. However, some people with specific digestive problems are advised to stay away from all foods that contain lectins. I hope that helps!

      I used tinned chickpeas. The oil-free coating was perfect!
