Roasted chick peas

Roasted chick peas

I made another batch of these last night to bring as a snack for work (also counts as veggie serving!)

It’s so good, I wanted to post the recipe again.

I would suggest using 2 cans of chick peas (garbanzo beans) because the process takes a while and they get eaten fast!

Take 2 cans of chick peas, and rinse them under cold water. Drain on a paper towel. Transfer them to a cookie sheet and add 2 tsp. of olive oil. Then I added a teaspoon of chili powder, a teaspoon of cumin, and a teaspoon of garlic salt. Stir until its all coated.

Bake at around 275-300 for an hour and fifteen minutes.

I would stir them every 15 minutes or so. You will know when they are done because they are crunchy. If they are still soft, put them back in the oven.

To me they taste like roasted soy beans, they are so crunchy and yummy! You can eat them plain, or add them for some crunch to your salad.

You don’t have to refrigerate the leftovers, just keep them in an air tight container.

Enjoy!

  • ohhh – I love roasted chick peas! they are such a great alternative snack when I’m craving something crunchy & salty, like, say, a chip?!

    And you are so right, good idea to make 2 cans while your at it cuz they do go fast!

  • i’m definitely going to have to try these! i was just saying that maybe for next lent, i’m going to try and give up chips. i really don’t know if i can do it – having the crunchy aspect at lunch or for snack has yet to be replaced by anything else. snacks like these make me think maybe it wouldn’t be so tough! thanks 🙂

  • I want these now! I am hitting the dreaded 3 o’clock hunger/snack time and these sound delicious. I will have to make some soon. Thanks for the recipe.

  • Do they count as a vegetable? I thought beans were a legume, which is a starch. I remember my mom didn’t eat as many beans when she was doing her NutriSystem. I tried googling, but there isn’t a clear list of which are beans (green beans, etc) and what are legumes.

    Either way they still sound delicious! I always look for healthy alternatives when I am in a munchy, crunchy mood. My latest vice are plaintain chips from TJs. But those are just plain salted. I like that you could spice these up depending on your craving!
