Create a satisfying and protein-rich snack mix featuring roasted, spiced chickpeas. This recipe is perfect for when you need a quick energy boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and dried
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the rinsed chickpeas very dry with a paper towel. You want them as dry as possible for crispness.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Toss the dried chickpeas with the olive oil until evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oiled chickpeas and toss again until every chickpea has flavor.
  6. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden brown and crunchy.
  8. Let the snack mix cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. The crunch develops as they cool.

Notes

  • Ensure chickpeas are thoroughly dried before adding oil and spices.
  • Adjust the cayenne pepper amount based on your preferred level of heat.
  • Store cooled mix in an airtight container at room temperature for best texture.
