Roasted chickpeas – golden & crisp on the exterior & buttery on the interior – s simple healthy snack.
These roasted chickpeas are simple to make! When chickpeas are roasted at a high temperature, they become golden and crisp on the exterior and buttery on the interior. They’re as addictive as french fries, and I’ve been known to eat the entire batch standing at the stove straight from the baking sheet.
Begin by draining and rinsing the chickpeas.
Transfer the chickpeas to a foil-lined baking sheet and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden and crisp.
That’s all there is to it. Enjoy!

Recently purchased a bag of roasted chickpeas – tasty, pricey, and some so hard I thought I’d break a tooth (tossed those). I just made a batch of these; baked at 425 for 25 minutes; very good but I should have gone an add’l five minutes, maybe longer. The big surprise is my oven is 100% covered in chickpea “dust” – what a mess! Plus some of the chickpeas popped out of the pan on to the oven floor (those were actually the best because they were super crispy!).
Would you say these are crispy enough to substitute for croutons in a Caesar salad? Thank you!
Hi Shannon, they’re crispy, but not sure they’re quite as crispy as croutons.
Awesome! Except, I used only garlic powder and olive oil for this.
OMG!!! These are so awesome. Cheap, healthy, and easy snack to open up my window with!!! I have recently found that chickpeas are super good for me. I will be making these weekly!!!! Thanks for your awesome recipes, Jenn. You’ve really helped me up my cooking game. 😊. I made 4 other recipes from your blog today. Reviews to follow.
well, I am going to try again before saying this is a fail. because it was the first time. I used dried chickpeas, soaked them for 24 hrs then dried them. I could not get most of the skins off (is there a trick to it?) oiled the beans and some spices added before baking the others after. did three different spice mixes. of the spices only the Cayenne paprika was enough, couldn’t really taste the others, had to cook them twice as long to get them crispy.
Hi Patricia, I’m sorry to hear that you had a problem with these! I suspect that you’ll have better luck with canned chickpeas if you want to try it again. Also, I don’t think it’s necessary to remove the skins.
After rinsing my chickpeas I let them dry on a paper towel for 3 hours. However, after baking them for the full time, they weren’t crisp. They were soft. I didn’t use Goya brand of chickpeas so maybe that was the problem.
Can these be frozen?
Hi Judy, I’ve never done it so I can’t say for sure how they’d freeze – I’m sorry!
This is great! Thank you for providing another excellent recipe!
