A quick and easy homemade snack featuring crispy roasted chickpeas seasoned with everything bagel spices. Perfect for snacking, sharing, and adding a flavorful crunch to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chickpeas or 1 (15 oz/425 g) can, drained and rinsed well
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning (or mix 1 tsp sesame seeds, 1 tsp poppy seeds, 1/2 tsp dried minced garlic, 1/2 tsp dried minced onion, and a pinch of coarse salt)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (kosher salt recommended)
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly using a colander under cold water for about 30 seconds.
  3. Spread chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and pat dry thoroughly to remove moisture.
  4. Optionally, remove loose skins by gently rubbing chickpeas between your hands or the towel.
  5. Transfer chickpeas to a mixing bowl and add olive oil, everything bagel seasoning, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
  6. Spread chickpeas in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick surface, avoiding overcrowding.
  7. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring or shaking the pan halfway through (around 15 minutes) for even browning.
  8. Remove from oven when golden and toasty smelling. Let cool completely on the baking sheet to crisp up further.
  9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Notes

Dry chickpeas thoroughly before roasting to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to prevent steaming. Stir halfway through roasting for even browning. Let chickpeas cool completely before eating to maximize crunch. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze and re-crisp before serving. Optional variations include adding cayenne pepper for spice, herbs like rosemary or thyme, or a sweet twist with maple syrup and cinnamon.
