I found this recipe on Pinterest (story of my life) and couldn’t wait to make it. It’s extremely easy and makes for a healthy, delicious, guilt-free snack. So instead of taking down an entire box of Triscuits while absentmindedly watching True Blood reruns On Demand, I’ll grab some roasted spiced chickpeas instead.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cans chickpeas
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp ground coriander
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Rinse chickpeas.
- Mix oil and spices together in a medium mixing bowl. Toss in chickpeas until all are coated evenly.
- Spread chickpeas on baking pan(s).
- Bake for about 25 minutes, shaking pan every 5-10 minutes to turn chickpeas.
- Let cool for a couple minutes, then eat up!

Very tasty, great snack!
Do I need to dry the chickpeas after rinsing?
Nope, I never do
How do I go about storage?
After they’ve completely cooled, I put them in tupperware and leave them on the counter at room temp. But they usually don’t last more than a couple days before I’ve devoured them all
I’m starting South Beach Diet, day 1. I picked up a 4 lb. medicine ball from Winners to do your workouts that I found on Pinterest. I seriously need to lose some brand new, unwelcomed, middle age belly fat. This first week will be especially challenging without decent snacks. Thanks for the recipes Roasted Spiced Chickpeas, and Crispy Parmesan Edamame.
You’re so welcome! And good luck with the first week–it’s always the hardest
You have no idea how happy this recipe made me
I’m trying to find snack replacements to adapt to a healthier lifestyle and these are AMAZING!
So glad you like them! I make them every week–great snack to bring along to work.
