Seriously!

And honestly, it wasn’t something that was ever on my list, I mean, I like chickpeas, or garbanzo beans (which I prefer, because it sounds funny. I like funny sounding foods), in salads, falafels, hummus, hummus chips…but roasted? Never even crossed my mind. Boy was I ever missing out. This roasted chickpeas recipe is super amazing, and it’s actually inspired by my Greek dressing. I figure since everyone is working on a spicy and BBQ flavored roasted chickpeas recipe, I’ll head back to the homeland of this prized pea.

I find that when I do it this way, the chickpeas are less likely to overcook or have the seasonings burn. I always finish them off with a final sprinkle of kosher salt, because the large crystals add the perfect crispy crunch to an already crunchy delight!

The skins just start coming off and I cannot help myself. Pretty sure I’m a little bit crazy, or maybe slightly OCD, but if I don’t stop myself, I’ll spend an hour peeling every last one of those chickpeas, and there is no reason to do it for this roasted chickpeas recipe. Hummus is another story, however.

  8. Wow! I have chickpeas at home and I love them. But I never thought I can make them at home, seriously. Thanks. The ingredients can be easily bought and most are actually home necessities already. I'll take note of this. :) Nice photos btw.

  24. I have an aversion to anything with peas, but some things I will eat if there's minimal amounts. Although there's no minimal amount here, it does look really good! I just may have to mind over matter it & try this out!

    • Hi Liz!I would imagine they could last several weeks because they are baked until crispy, but I couldn't say for certain because I've never had a batch last longer than a few days!

  39. These were delicious! The texture reminds me of popcorn but better for you. I put them in a pesto pasta recipe for added protein. Will definitely make again.
