Cheesy Roasted Chickpeas
Roasted chickpeas are a salty, crunchy, cheesy, and of course healthy snack you can take with you almost anywhere. Using nutritional yeast makes it vegetarian and vegan-friendly!
Ingredients
- 2 cans No Salt Added Chickpeas
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Salt or Sea Salt
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
Instructions
- Pour the chickpeas into a sieve and rinse in the sink.
- Take a paper towel and gently pat the chickpeas down while they’re still in the sieve to get rid of excess water.
- Get two or three plates and place a paper towel down on each of them. Pour the chickpeas onto the plates so that they’re laid flat.
- Pat the chickpeas with a paper towel one more time, trying to absorb as much water as you can. Be careful not to pat too hard and crush them.
- Go through the chickpeas to remove any skins that fell off.
- Let the chickpeas sit on the counter for one hour to dry.
- Preheat the oven to 400°.
- Pour the chickpeas into a bowl and add two tablespoons of olive oil plus half a teaspoon of garlic salt (or sea salt if preferred).
- Gently stir the chickpeas until they’re all coated.
- Place the chickpeas onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- *Roast for 35 to 55 minutes. Check every 10 minutes to stir them around and make sure they’re not starting to burn.
- Put the chickpeas into a large bowl immediately and add a quarter cup of nutritional yeast, one teaspoon of garlic powder, one teaspoon of onion powder, and one teaspoon of paprika.
- Gently stir the chickpeas around in the bowl with a spoon to coat them.
- Let them cool for a few minutes and then store them in a glass or plastic container for 3 to 7 days.
Notes
*The roasting time depends on how dry the chickpeas are and how your oven works.
