Ingredients
Roasted Chickpeas
- 1 can garbanzo beans (chickpeas) rinsed and drained
- 1 tbsp light flavor oil- preferably light EVOO or avocado oil (I used avocado oil)
Cinnamon Sugar
- 1 tbsp light flavor oil
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp brown sugar
Garlic Parmesan
- 1 tbsp light flavor oil
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp nutritional yeast
Ranch
- 1 tbsp light flavor oil
- 1-2 tbsp ranch seasoning mix from packet (depending on taste preference)
Buffalo
- 1 tbsp light flavor oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp Red hot sauce or favorite buffalo sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Rinse and drain chickpeas in a strainer, lightly grabbing chickpeas between hands and removing outer skin as best you can. It comes off pretty easily.
- Line a baking sheet with sheets of paper towel and dump de-skinned chickpeas onto paper towel. It's okay if there are some skins still clinging, they will be removed after drying and removing paper towel.
- Get new paper towel and gently roll over chickpeas, this will help them dry and roast better.
- Remove bottom paper towel so that the dry and de-skinned chickpeas fall onto the sheet pan. Drizzle 1 tbsp of light (neutral flavor) oil over chickpeas and toss to coat.
- Place in oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring once halfway.
- To check for crunchiness, press wooden spoon or spatula down on chickpeas. If they are hard, they are done. If they are soft, leave them in the oven for 3-5 more minutes.
- While the chickpeas are cooking, assemble a mixing bowl with 1 tbsp of neutral flavor oil and seasonings in the bottom.
- Once the chickpeas are finished cooking, pour into bowl with desired seasonings and oil mixture. Do this when they are hot! It will help absorb the flavor.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Depending on taste preference, you can add more or less of the seasonings to the chickpeas. I know some people like theirs very seasoned.
Check for a low sodium ranch packet if you are concerned about sodium intake. I'm sure you could find a low sodium ranch recipe online.
I make up to 2 batches at a time. My sheet pan is pretty large, but I don't like to overcrowd the chickpeas because they will not dry out/roast as well.
