Spiced, baked chickpeas might be one of the best snacks of all time (there, we said it). They satisfy the desire for crunch and great flavor in a small package, plus chickpeas are packed with plant-powered protein and fiber. Eat them solo or add them to a salad as a legume “crouton.” If you like spice, these are pretty darn delicious with chipotle chili powder or red pepper flakes added in.

Correction- remove from oven and then toss them well in the seasoning….
Love roasted chickpeas! To get them extra crispy , I mix the seasoning with a bit of the aquafaba. This is the chickpea water from the can. I cook the chickpeas without the seasoning for 20 minutes. I then toss remove from oven & them in the seasoning. Then return them to oven for last 20 minutes.
Thanks for all the great recipes 😋
