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 made these today thinking that my family and I would snack on them all afternoon. Instead, we inhaled them in about 5 minutes. Sooooo delicious. Great recipe. Thank you!
I love, love, love roasted chickpeas! I could snack on them all day long. I don’t, but I could. 😉 Love the seasonings you put on them and I can’t wait to make your recipe!
Woow, I did not realize how easy to make this. I like that you can customize the ingredients according to your liking. FOr me, I want extra,extra spicy and I might add in a bit of salt too.
I always have chickpeas in the house. I use them all the time. This recipe sounds delicious. Perfect as a side dish…or for a healthy snack option.
A fun recipe for kids and adults!
It’s a GENIUS idea to use chickpeas as croutons! I have to work this into my salads now! Thanks :).
Oh yum, those chickpeas sound so good! I love the idea of just eating them plain as a snack (in a salad would be good too though!).
Ah I love a good trip to Whole Foods – new ones are especially fun =) I’ve never seen one with an airstream – very cool!
Hope you’re having a great week Carrie!
I can’t believe I have never thought of chickpea croutons! Thanks for the inspiration Carrie 😉
On another note… your Cat is adorable!
Hey Carrie,
That salad looks delicious I can’t wait to try it and WOW I wish I lived near that Wholefoods store.
Does it have a salad and vegetable bar as well?
Oh yeah, it has an awesome salad and hot bar. 🙂
I love a Whole Foods Market and we always check them out when we are traveling. It’s also a great place to get a hearty salad when traveling.
I am glad that chef AJ mentioned being able to make the roasted chickpeas with no oil – I haven’t made them since going plant strong because of the oil. Good to know it will work.
