Roast Chickpeas For A Delicious Snack

Nothing beats a tasty snack that you can enjoy while watching your favourite TV show or movie. Chickpeas are a great option for a snack as they are high in protein and fibre, and are low in fat. And not only are chickpeas delicious, they are also incredibly versatile. One way to enjoy them is to roast them for a crunchy, savoury treat. Roasting chickpeas is easy and doesn't take long. Read on to find out how to roast chickpeas for a delicious snack.

Ingredients:

The ingredients you will need for roasting chickpeas are simple and few. All you need is a can of chickpeas, your favourite herbs and spices, a bit of oil, and some salt and pepper. If you like, you can also add some garlic or onion powder to give your roasted chickpeas a bit of extra flavour.

Preparation:

Before you can roast your chickpeas, you need to prepare them. First, open the can and drain the liquid. Then rinse the chickpeas in a colander and pat them dry with a paper towel. This will help them to get nice and crispy when you roast them. Once the chickpeas are dry, spread them out on a baking sheet and let them sit for about 10 minutes.

Roasting:

Once your chickpeas are prepped and ready to go, it's time to roast them. Preheat your oven to 375°F and drizzle your chickpeas with some oil. Sprinkle your herbs and spices on top and give them a good stir to make sure everything is evenly coated. Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring them once or twice during the cooking time.

Serving:

When your roasted chickpeas are done, take them out of the oven and let them cool. They should be nice and crunchy on the outside, with a bit of a soft centre. Serve them as a snack on their own, or as a topping for salads or soups. You can also add them to bowls or wraps for added crunch and nutrition.

Enjoy!

Roasted chickpeas are a great way to enjoy a delicious snack without all the fat and calories of other snacks. They are also easy to make, so you can whip up a batch in no time. Whether you're looking for a healthy snack to munch on while you watch TV, or you want to add some crunch to your lunch, roasted chickpeas are a tasty, nutritious choice.
