Spicy Roasted Chickpeas: A Tasty and Healthy Snack Recipe

Today’s Healthy Snack Recipe: Spicy Roasted Chickpeas

I’m excited to share this tasty and nutritious snack recipe with you today. As the weather gets cooler, I find myself craving something warm and spicy to munch on while curled up on the couch. These spicy roasted chickpeas are the perfect solution — crunchy, flavorful, and satisfying.

To make this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed) – 400g
• olive oil – 2 tbsp
• smoked paprika – 1 tsp
• cayenne pepper – 1/2 tsp
• garlic powder – 1/2 tsp
• sea salt – to taste

For this recipe, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

• baking sheet
• mixing bowl
• parchment paper

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas, olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of sea salt. Mix everything together until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the spices.

Spread the seasoned chickpeas out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are crispy and golden brown.

Once the chickpeas are done roasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before enjoying. These spicy roasted chickpeas are best served warm and make a perfect afternoon snack or party appetizer.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 400g, with about 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 100g, and I estimate each serving to be around 150 calories.

One unusual tip for this recipe is to add a sprinkle of nutritional yeast before roasting the chickpeas for an extra savory flavor boost. It’s a delicious and healthy addition that takes this snack to the next level.

I hope you give these spicy roasted chickpeas a try — they’re a fun and flavorful snack that’s easy to make and perfect for satisfying your savory cravings. Feel free to experiment with different spices to make this recipe your own. Enjoy!
