Crispy Chickpeas Recipe - Healthy Indian Snack

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for roasting)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder (for flavoring)
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder (for flavoring)
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder (for color and flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    This ensures even cooking of the chickpeas.
  2. Prepare Chickpeas

    Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly.

    Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  3. Season the Chickpeas

    In a bowl, combine the chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and salt.

    Mix well to coat the chickpeas evenly.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet.

    This helps them crisp up nicely.
  5. Roast the Chickpeas

    Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.

    Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  6. Cool and Serve

    Remove from oven and let cool before serving.

    Enjoy them as a snack or add to salads for extra crunch.
