Sharing a little low-waste snack recipe today that I just can’t get enough of: roasted chickpeas. I loooove chickpeas, and this snack is perfect for when you want something savoury and crunchy, a bit like potato chips. They’re also great for entertaining, or as a topping on salads.
You can use cooked or canned chickpeas, and if you used canned, you can actually save the liquid “aquafaba” for recipes. (Don’t believe me? Google it!)
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas (1 standard 15 oz can = about 425 mL cooked chickpeas)
- 1- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- Spices to taste, such as: salt and pepper, cumin, garlic, chill powder, curry powder, etc
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Rinse and drain chickpeas.
- Use a clean towel to dry them as much as you can (this will help make them crispy!).
- Toss them with olive oil and spices in a bowl.
- Spread them out on a baking sheet or dish (make sure it has a rim so they won’t roll off!).
- Bake for about 30 minutes or until crispy and crunchy. They may be slightly chewy in the middle, which is also delicious.
- Enjoy!
