BBQ Roasted Chickpeas Recipe

A crunchy and delicious snack... garbanzo beans (or chickpeas) are oven roasted and tossed with a tasty BBQ seasoning to create these BBQ Roasted Chickpeas. Recipe from Simply Delish by Jessica Merchant
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 1 1/2 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups canned chickepeas rinsed and drained (I prefer Bush's Beans garbanzo beans)
  • 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika, onion powder, brown sugar, garlic salt, chili powder, and pepper.
  • Pat the chickpeas completely dry with a towel and remove any of the skins that become loose. Add the chickpeas to a bowl and toss them with the olive oil and three-quarters of the spice mixture. Mix well to coat the chickpeas and spread them out on a nonstick baking sheet. Bake the chickpeas for 20 minutes, toss them with a spatula, and bake for 15 minutes more. Remove the pan from the oven and let the chickpeas cool on the baking sheet.
  • Take the chickpeas and season them with the additional spice mix if needed. If you don't need it, simply place it in a sealed plastic bag and save it for the next batch.
  • Roasted chickpeas are best the day they are made - after a few hours they can start to lose their crunch. However, you can store them in a container with a sheet of plastic wrap lightly covering the top for 2-3 days.
