What could be better than a healthy snack that is super crunchy and satisfying?
Chickpeas are legumes and are:
- High in protein,
- High in fiber,
- Great source of folate and plant-based iron,
Recipe Steps
You won’t believe how easy it is to make roasted chickpeas! All you need are canned chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans), coconut oil, and some spices.
Step One
Drain and rinse your chickpeas. Pat them dry to make sure they get really crispy in the oven.
Step Two
Toss them with the oil and spices.
Step Three
Bake the garlic roasted chickpeas for 45 minutes at 400 degrees. You can also make Air Fryer Roasted Chickpeas.
Step Four
Let the roasted chickpeas cool slightly before serving. Or, let them cool completely for ultimate crispiness.

Expert Tips & Substitutions
- You can get creative with the spices that you add to your roasted garbanzo beans, but I like to use Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Plus, I always add a little sea salt to add more flavor.
- Sometimes I like to make a variation of this recipe and use dried dill and dried parsley in addition to the Italian seasoning. It really just depends on which dried herbs you like the most. See my other recipe for Ranch Roasted Chickpeas.

I like my salads with some crunch; this will do the trick!
Hi Carrie, my family loves roasted chickpeas! We never use oil or salt, just toss them in some lemon juice with curry powder, garlic powder and garam masala. I put them in the oven at 350-400o and stir a few times and they really do get crunchy after around 45 min or so….the taste is amazing, too!
Hi Carrie,
We’ve been making these for years without oil or salt and they still come out crunchy and flavorful, I promise?
Love & Kale,
Chef AJ
Thanks Chef AJ I have been holding back making these because of the oil.
You should def try without oil, just be careful to not let them burn.
Thanks, AJ! I tried them once without oil and gotta say that I got better results with a minimal amount of oil. BUT, I will try again sans oil based on your recommendation. 🙂
Great minds must think alike – I just put a recipe on my blog for spiced chickpeas too, but your salad looks tha bomb! Yum!
….. and I’m very jealous of everyone living in the US, because Whole Foods Market looks amazing.
I love this post! It just screams of your passion.
I am looking forward to trying the crouton this weekend. Hooray! Something new to try.
The other day I was all excited that my “dumb”phone was giving up on me and that I’d be able to get an iPhone… then it came back to life and the practical side of me said just to wait for it to seriously croak before upgrading. I soooo want your app!
Thanks, JM! 🙂
Any chance your app will be available on Android in the future?
And I love that vicious guard kitty!
Hi Shari! I hope I can afford to make my app available on Android, but time will tell. Thank you so much for your interest, though. 🙂
You forgot the chubra! 😛
;X
cute puddy!
great idea to add the dried onion for extra interest and texture. I’m going to do this next time I roast a batch. I tried balsamic vinegar & sea salt a while ago, I think the spiced version is best though.

That’s awesome! I was actually able to take a day trip over to a WHole Foods this weekend, too! It’s only the 2nd one I have been to! This one was in Woodmere, OH. I hope to blog about it – if not today – tomorrow! The other one I have been to was the one in Las Vegas!
Hi Carrie,
The photo of the sleepy kitty, at the produce stand, is great!! Since the herbs are right there, it looks like he, or she, just had some catnip, and is sleeping it off! Ha ha! 🙂 I love this idea of crunchy chickpeas. Now, this will be my recipe of choice this weekend. But, I don’t know much about coconut oil, coconut vinegar, etc., and I notice you do use them occasionally, and I’d like to try. So could you tell me your favorite kind, where you buy them (vitacost?), and if there is some source I should look up to know more about the whole coconut thing, or if you can give me a little info. Like, how do you liquify it? You know, I’m just really learning some cooking skills, so sorry for the basic question. It’s cool though, not only have you taught me tons of cool recipes and food ideas, but also you taught me how to roast a garlic, about Feedly, and about Vitacost! Thank you, awesome lady!! 🙂
Hi Patty! I get organic coconut oil at Trader Joe’s, but it is really easy to find at most markets. I liquefy it by putting it in a small bowl and microwaving it for about 20 seconds. Sorry, I should have specified how to do that! Thanks for the comment. 🙂
