These chili lime roasted chickpeas are incredibly crispy and make a perfect spicy snack. They are seasoned with a vibrant blend of chili and lime for a zesty kick.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chickpeas completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensure they are very dry for maximum crispiness.
  3. Remove any loose skins from the chickpeas.
  4. In a medium bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil.
  5. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt.
  6. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oiled chickpeas and toss to coat evenly.
  7. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  8. Roast for 25-35 minutes, shaking the pan every 10-15 minutes, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove from the oven and immediately toss with lime zest and fresh lime juice.
  10. Let them cool slightly before serving. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can let the drained and rinsed chickpeas air dry for a few hours in a single layer on a baking sheet before proceeding with the recipe.
  • Adjust the cayenne pepper to your preferred level of heat.
  • These are best enjoyed fresh, shortly after roasting, for optimal crunch.
