Chili Roasted Chickpeas

I often use Garbanzo beans when cooking, especially when I am making chili but this is the first time I use them to make Chili Roasted Chickpeas.

Now you are probably confused as to why I am using Garbanzo Beans and Chickpeas interchangeably. Well that’s because they are one and the same. Different names for the same thing.

Locally they are usually called Garbanzo beans but you might see them sold as Chickpeas.

One day, my wife came home and said that one of her co-workers brought a bag of roasted chickpeas to share as an afternoon snack.

She said they were pretty good except they were a bit salty. She didn’t remember what flavor they were but too salty for her taste.

If you are not familiar with Garbanzo Beans or Chickpeas and wondering if they are good for you, well they are! They are high in protein and are rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber.

Since I always have a couple of cans of chickpeas in my pantry I figured I would add a few spices we like with some olive oil and roast them up.

The spices on the recipe card are how we like to roast the beans but feel free to tweak it as you see fit.

Once you are done roasting the chickpeas and have let them cool to room temperature, you can store them in an airtight container for up to a week or so. Chances are they won’t last that long as they are tasty!

A final word of caution, when you take the baking sheet out of the oven, some of the beans may “pop” like popcorn spraying some hot juices.

While this may be a good indication they need a little more time in the oven, please use caution!

An alternative way to prepare the chickpeas is to add the spices AFTER they come out of the oven while they are still hot. Coat the dried chickpeas in olive oil, bake then add the spices.

    This Chili Roasted Chickpeas recipe is the greatest I have ever tasted. We eat these as a healthy snack. I have also put them on my salads. Great recipe. I used a little less chili powder and they were great.
