It is hard to describe just how good these are. They’re salty, a little crunchy, a little spicy…basically all things delicious. The chickpeas work great as a snack, an appetizer in place of nuts, or on top of a salad.
Oven-Roasted Chickpeas
- 2 c. fully cooked and cooled chickpeas, or 2 cans chickpeas
- 3 T. olive oil
- 3 t. salt
- 2 t. cumin
- 1 t. black pepper
- 1/4 t. cayenne pepper
1. Preheat oven and cookie sheet to 325 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and toss until chickpeas are well coated.
3. Pour chickpeas onto hot cookie sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, until crispy but not burnt, stirring every 15 minutes.
I just bought 2 cans of chickpeas and I was going to make hummus but couldn’t find the tahini so I am going to make these. I heard they are really good. Thanks for the recipe.
Started following your blog recently. You have some mouthwatering & inspiring dinners. This looks good. Want to try it soon!

I’m there. I have two cans of chick peas, and company coming tonight! I’ve seen Giada do these, and have wanted to try them. The cumin is what sealed the deal for me. I just decided yesterday that it’s my new favorite spice!!
I can’t wait to try these. If I decrease the salt, I’m thinkin’ they’d be a really healthy snack for my husband, who needs to watch his sodium intake.
These look wonderful, I adore chickpeas and will have to give this a try!
I’ve been reading a lot about roasted chickpeas lately, I need to get on making them! After I get around to ever making granola…

I love these too! I buy dry organic garbanzo beans in bulk (Plum Market is one source), cook them all at once and then freeze them in 2 cup portions (about the same as a can). They are ready to use fast for making hummus or roasted garbanzos!

These were really good! My husband even said they were “da bomb-diggity’. That’s a compliment. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I guess that to receive the loan from banks you must have a great reason. But, one time I’ve got a college loan, because I was willing to buy a bike.
Thank you very much for sharing all of the excellent content! I am looking forward to reading more blogs!
