Hi Friends!<\/p>\n

Want to learn how to roast chickpeas? If I’m being totally honest, I’m not crazy about chickpeas just plain. I don’t particularly like them on salads or in a casserole. But grind them up into hummus and you’ve got my attention. Roast them into crunchy little puffs to snack on and it’s likely I could eat a whole can in one sitting.<\/p>\n

Roasting chickpeas can be a tricky beast. I’ve had many<\/span> failed batches. Through trial and error, and a little luck, I’ve figured out a few secrets and I thought I’d share them with you!<\/p>\n

Ready? Three secrets to perfectly roasted chickpeas:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Don’t use too much oil. It will make them soggy and they will never get crispy. I spray mine vs drizzle with oil. If you don’t have a can of spray oil or a Misto, use about 1\/2 tsp per can of chickpeas. Just enough to coat so spices can stick!<\/li>\n
  2. Don’t crowd the pan. Use a large baking sheet, especially if you’re roasted two cans at once so there’s enough room for air to circulate around them. These are my favorite pans<\/a> (aff link)<\/li>\n
  3. Start them in a cold oven, roast them and then leave them in the oven as it cools back down.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That third one is the one that came about by accident. A few years ago I REALLY wanted roasted chickpeas…but I was running late for a workout. I didn’t have time to let the oven preheat so I threw them in there right when I turned the oven on, let them roast as long as I could and then shut off the oven, left them in there and hoped for the best.<\/p>\n

    What I got was my best ever batch of roasted chickpeas. <\/p>\n
