A prominent part of the Jordanian diet, the chickpea (or garbanzo bean) is one of the major food legume crops in Jordan. Though they appear in a variety of entrées and side dishes such as stews or hummus, in this recipe, chickpeas are seasoned and roasted to eat as a fun snack.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups cooked chickpeas (or a 15-ounce can, rinsed and drained)
  • ½ tablespoon organic garlic powder
  • ½ tablespoon organic onion powder
  • 1 dash freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 dash ground turmeric
  • Pinch of paprika

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Combine all ingredients except for the chickpeas in a small bowl. Mix well.
  • Place the chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle some of the spice mixture over the chickpeas, reserving some to sprinkle over when turning the chickpeas. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the chickpeas are lightly browned.
  • Shake the baking sheet gently to turn the chickpeas over. Sprinkle with the remaining spice mixture and continue baking for 15 minutes more. Serve.

Crunchy but uninteresting.

Megan

I made a huge batch and couldn't fit them all in one layer on the pan, so it took a bit longer, but they were excellent.

Jan

Do they get crunchy? What is the texture like?

Julie

Yes, they get crunchy are satisfy that need to "munch"! :)

Marcel Fraser

Could you just mix the chick peas in a large bowl prior to placing them on baking sheet. Then 1/2 way through just toss/turn ?

Marie D

Absolutely! I will be mixing the chickpeas with all the spices and a very little bit of oil in a bowl to get evenly covered… Then I will roast at 400° till crispy and crunchy shaking the pan several times throughout the baking time
