How to Make Crispy Oven Roasted Chickpeas

To get started, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. First you’ll want to rinse and drain the chickpeas. Then, lay them out on a towel, or paper towel, until they dry. Next, place them in a bowl, add the olive oil and salt and mix around until the oil and salt cover the chickpeas.

Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray, and spread the chickpeas out onto the sheet. Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. About halfway through the baking time, shake the baking sheet to shuffle the chickpeas around a bit.

Remove the chickpeas from the oven and allow them to cool for about 15 minutes. They will continue to harden after they cool down. Chickpeas are best eaten within a day, but will last for several days in container.

How do I store oven roasted chickpeas?

Once chickpeas have fully cooled, place them in a glass jar, or container and loosely cover. Chickpeas are best eaten within the first day, but will last for 4-5 days at room temperature.

Can I freeze oven roasted chickpeas?

Place chickpeas in a freezer safe container, sealed well, and freeze for up to one month.
