Lightly sweet with a slight kick, these roasted chickpeas are crunchy and packed with nutrition!

Ahhh….my new favorite snack….roasted chickpeas.

I make these at least twice a week.  I love mixing up the flavors and next to my Chocolate Covered Roasted Chickpeas, these are my favorite.

Just so you know, your stomach won’t feel well if you eat the whole batch in one day.  Especially a few months after you’ve had an intestinal blockage and an extensive surgery at that.  These are extremely addictive so I recommend putting these in portion-controlled containers to prevent said overeating.  Not that I would know from experience.

I personally LOVE the sweet and spicy combination.  One thing, these aren’t very spicy, they just have a slight kick to them.  You can easily leave off the chili powder if you’d like them to just be sweet.  But I like them with a little extra punch!

So now, onto these crunchy chickpeas…

The key to making them crunchy is to make sure they are completely dry before putting them in the oven.  I learned this the hard way.  They still taste delicious, just not crunchy.  And sometimes you just want something with a CRUNCH.

Also, make sure the “skins” come off, either when you rinse the chickpeas or you can just peel them off.  They also prevent the from being crunchy.  Are you sensing a theme here?

    I had to giggle at the portion control recommendation…because I was just thinking about how I could probably eat a whole batch in one sitting. Love the sweet and spicy combo!

    Chickpeas are a true superfood — and I love snacking on them for a nice salty crunch (in lieu of chips or worse (what my hubby eats — cheetos — ugh!!). I will definitely be trying these sweet and salty ones!!

    The first time I made roasted chickpeas, my husband was like a ravenous beast with them. I kept telling him to be careful. They are, afterall, chickpeas. But he couldn’t stop and he ate an entire can. Let’s just say he won’t repeat that mistake ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Yours look awesome. Can’t wait to try these spicy/sweet snacks.

    Epic fail. Followed the recipe to a T. They did not crisp up and they had almost no flavor. Very disappointed.

      Oh no I am so sorry to hear that! I make these all the time and they are delicious. Oven temperatures may vary so many try adjusting the time? You also need to make sure they are completely dry before roasting or they will not get crisp. I hope that helps!
