Vegan Roasted Chickpeas {four ways}

For those of you who are new to the Roasted Chickpea craze, here’s a helpful guide to try all kinds of different flavored warm and crispy chickpeas! Just experiment with whatever seasoning sounds good at the moment. I promise you will love this healthy snack!

First you need to preheat your oven to 400F. Using a cookie sheet line it with parchment paper and set it aside.

Drain chickpeas into a strainer and rinse them over and over to remove some loose skins. Try to remove as many skins as possible but you don’t HAVE to remove all.

Dry them with paper towels. Pay them dry as thoroughly as possible. The drier they are the more they will crisp up.

For all flavor combinations EXCEPT pumpkin pie you need to spread dried chickpeas on your prepared cookie sheet. Bake 35-40 minutes. It all depends on your oven. If they are too moist then cook a little longer but keep an eye on them, because they can burn quickly.

Once roasted, transfer to a small bowl and add coconut oil & choice of flavored seasonings for all flavor combinations EXCEPT the pumpkin pie spice.

If using pumpkin pie spices you need to combine the maple syrup, olive oil, apple cider vinegar and all spices in a small bowl. Toss the dried chickpeas in the mixture than lay out in an even later on a prepared baking sheet. Then Bake for 30-35 minutes {depends on your oven-watch close the last 10-15 minutes}, gently tossing them around every 10 minutes to be sure they don’t stick.

Remove from oven. Let the chickpeas cool. While they cook they will crisp up even more.

Add to desired dish or enjoy as a healthy snack alternative.
