Shellys Roasted Chickpeas Recipes

CRISPY ROASTED CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Spread the chickpeas on a kitchen towel and pat them dry. Remove any loose skins.
• Transfer the dried chickpeas to the baking sheet and toss them with a drizzle of olive oil and generous pinches of salt.
• Roast the chickpeas for 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Ovens can vary, if your chickpeas are not crispy enough, keep going until they are!
• Remove from the oven and, while the chickpeas are still warm, toss with pinches of your favorite spices, if using.
• Store roasted chickpeas in a loosely-covered container at room temperature. They are best used within two days.

CRISPY ROASTED CHICKPEAS (THAT STAY CRISPY!)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Rinse and drain the chickpeas, shaking off as much water as possible. Place them on a towel and pat gently to dry. Place another towel on top, then use your hands to rub the chickpeas and remove as many of the chickpea skins as possible. Do this once or twice; it should only take a few minutes and it's not necessary to remove all of the skins.
• In a medium bowl, stir together chickpeas with the olive oil, chili powder, black pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, and kosher salt.
• Pour chickpeas onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread them into a single layer. Bake for about 45 to 60 minutes until crispy and dry, shaking the pan every 15 minutes. The exact bake time depends on the chickpea brand and your oven, so watch closely in the final minutes, taste test, and remove when the chickpeas are browned but before they become very dark and hard. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before storing; the chickpeas will crisp up even more as they cool.
• Allow to cool. Store in an airtight container in a dry cupboard for up to 1 week.

ROASTED CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Blot chickpeas with a paper towel to dry them. In a bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil, and season to taste with salt, garlic salt, and cayenne pepper, if using. Spread on a baking sheet, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until browned and crunchy. Watch carefully the last few minutes to avoid burning.
