Just made these for a friends’ get together at a local winery where it’s customary to share snacks, and I’m not sure there will be enough to bring as I’m snacking on them now! I followed the directions to the letter, and they came out crispy but not dry – the perfect texture. In place of the salt and spices I used Tajin, which gives a wonderful salt/heat/tang flavor to the chickpeas. Highly recommend this recipe. Thank you, Kate, for another winner!

Personally I like Mexican inspired roasted chickpeas. Before starting your recipe I always soak the chickpeas for about an hour in a mixture of sambal, lime juice, and lemon juice. For seasonings I use chili powder, cumin, garlic and cayenne. You might want to try it, they are fantastic.

Amazing! Thanks Kate, these chick peas will be a new staple for my kids. Just olive oil and salt. Brilliant recipe. I absolutely loved them too. Next time I’ll make a double batch.

I followed this crispy roasted chickpea recipe exactly. The chickpeas were bone dry when they went into the oven. The oven thermometer was right at 400 degrees. Roasted for the recommended time. Yet the finished product was still quite soft – not anywhere near crispy. I can still use the chickpeas for another recipe buy am not sure why they did not turn out better here. Perhaps I will try again!?

In reply to Nancy Keyes. Hi Nancy, I'm so glad you found it helpful. The ranch seasoning sounds like a great touch.

We made these last night and they were absolutely fabulous. I have never had roasted chickpeas this crisp before. We used some Trader Joe’s Ranch seasoning and good olive oil and I am hooked. The tips were “game changers”. Can’t wait to make them the next time we make your “perfect” hummus!

I made these a couple of days ago & followed the recipe with a little less olive oil. They were super crunchy when cooled. After cooling for an hour or so, I put them in a jar but they were no longer crunchy the next day
:( They still tasted good

Worked perfectly! It’s even yummier than I thought. I didn’t measure the spices but I sprinkled smoked paprika and cumin as well as salt on them, tasted and added a bit more, tasted again, perfect. Don’t think they will last long!
Thanks a million because I’ve had roasted chick peas before that I thought were nice, but these are seriously delicious!
