Description

Midge loves a snack that’s quick, crunchy, and packed with protein, and these roasted chickpeas are just that. Perfect for munching at your desk, adding a little crunch to salads, or sneaking in a flavorful bite between meals, they’re simple to make yet feel indulgent. A quick roast with a touch of olive oil and seasoning transforms humble chickpeas into a snack that’s satisfying, wholesome, and Midge-endorsed.

Ingredients

1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (15 oz)
1 –2 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Pat the chickpeas dry with a clean towel or paper towels—this helps them crisp up.
3
In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly coated.
4
Spread the chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer.
5
Roast in the oven for 25–30 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway through, until golden and crunchy.
6
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Note

Experiment with seasonings: curry powder, chili powder, cinnamon & cocoa for a sweet version, or za’atar for a Mediterranean twist. Store cooled chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3–4 days. Perfect as a snack, salad topper, or crunchy addition to bowls and wraps. Pinch of black pepper
