Herbs & Spice Roasted Chickpeas

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 to 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried italian seasoning, or any other herbs
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • pinch of cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pour the chickpeas between two sheets of paper towels and rub the chickpeas gently to absorb the excess water. Pick out any loosened skin from the chickpeas.
  • Pour the chickpeas into a bowl or on top of the baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil and sprinkle the herbs and spices onto the chickpeas. If you are using a bowl, give the chickpeas a good stir and pour the contents onto the baking sheet. If you are using a baking sheet, give the baking sheet several good shakes to spread the oil and spices. I find that it’s a bit more fun to shake the baking sheet. Be sure to hold onto the parchment paper so that it doesn’t slide around.
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven. Stir the chickpeas after 15 minutes of baking. Bake for another 15 minutes.
  • Remove the chickpeas from the oven and taste them once they have cooled. Add more herbs and spices if necessary. I added some more salt and pepper to mine.

Notes

  • The roasting tips on The Kitchn suggest adding dried herbs after the chickpeas have roasted. With this batch of roasted chickpeas, I added the herbs before placing them in the oven. They were a bit burned by the time I pulled them out of the oven. Next time, I’ll follow The Kitchn’s tip.
  • You can also roast these chickpeas at 400ºF. Just add about 5 minutes to the total cooking time.
