Roasted chickpeas are a crunchier, poppable version of your favorite legume that you can eat like popcorn or a handful or nuts. Of course, chickpeas are delicious in recipes like falafel and other Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes<\/a>, but it’s time to start thinking of them as something to quickly munch on throughout the day.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how to make crispy, crunchy roasted chickpeas\u2014sure to become one of your favorite snacks.<\/p>\n Line a 15x10x1-inch baking sheet with foil. Spread the chickpeas in a single layer over the foil, removing any loose skins.<\/p>\n Bake the chickpeas at 400\u00baF for 40 to 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes or so. When fully baked, they’ll be crunchy.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, grated lime zest, lime juice and sea salt.<\/p>\n Remove the chickpeas from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle them with the oil mixture and shake the pan to coat. Cool completely.<\/p>\n There are lots of ways to play around with the seasonings for crispy chickpeas. No matter what you decide to try, you’ll want to mix the chickpeas with the oil and spices after baking<\/em>, not before. The spices can become bitter if they burn.<\/p>\n Store cooled crispy chickpeas in an airtight container for four to five days. They’ll be better fresh, since they’ll gradually lose their crunch, but you can toss them back in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes to crisp them back up again.<\/p>\n One trick is to make sure the chickpeas are totally dry before you put them on the baking sheet. Rubbing them between two layers of cloth towels will not only dry them more thoroughly after you’ve rinsed them, but it will also loosen some of those outer skins. (Those outer skins envelop the chickpeas with a thin, extra layer of moisture.)<\/p>\n Since spices can become bitter if they burn. We recommend tossing the chickpeas with the spices after baking to play it safe. Don’t worry\u2014they’ll be just as flavorful!<\/p>\n The oven is reliable, but you could also make crispy chickpeas in the air fryer<\/a> too. Put completely dry chickpeas in a single layer in your air fryer basket at 400\u00b0F for 20 to 30 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on them so they don’t get too toasted, shaking the basket every 5 minutes or so.<\/p>\n Use crispy chickpeas like you would croutons on a salad. They’d add some welcome crunch to your favorite bowl recipes such as a BLT quinoa bowl<\/a> or a tomato garlic lentil bowl<\/a>, or even a roasted sweet potato hot from the oven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Crispy chickpeas will become a favorite when you need something crunchy on your salads and bowls.
