Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are a legume. And like all legumes, they offer a wealth of nutrition, including complex carbohydrates, plant protein, fiber, and vitamins and minerals—including folate and iron. Chickpeas are linked with a healthy gut and heart. Is This Recipe Gluten-Free? Yes! This recipe contains no ingredients with gluten, so it is gluten-free. Tips from the Test Kitchen Should I Prep Chickpeas Before Roasting? Yes. Canned chickpeas come swimming in a thick liquid called aquafaba. This liquid behaves somewhat like egg whites in recipes like Vegan Meringue Cookies, but if you're roasting chickpeas, you'll want to rinse it off. After rinsing the chickpeas, you'll need to dry them well with a paper towel so they go into the oven with as little liquid sticking to them as possible. If they go into the oven wet they'll steam, not roast. Canned chickpeas can harbor lots of sodium, so we opt for no-salt-added chickpeas and add just a little salt to the outside before roasting. We coat the chickpeas in cooking spray to give them a thin film of oil spread evenly that lightly fries the outside. Can I Add Flavoring? Absolutely. This roasted chickpeas recipe features just a little bit of salt as a flavoring, but you can add additional spices to suit your taste. Chili powder, cumin, curry powder, smoked paprika and even a little cinnamon sugar are all great options. If you're going to flavor your chickpeas, toss them in a teaspoon or two of spices about 5 minutes before they're done roasting and return them to the oven. This will allow the spices to stick to the chickpeas without burning. What's the Best Way to Store Roasted Chickpeas? Roasted chickpeas can lose their crunch pretty quickly. We recommend using them right away for maximum crispiness. If you need to store them, let them cool completely, then store them in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to one day. Storing for a few days past this point won't spoil them, but they may lose their crunch. Frequently Asked Questions How Do You Use Roasted Chickpeas? There are so many great ways to use roasted chickpeas. They make the perfect plant-based snack, but we also like to use them whole in salads or soups for a bit of crunch. And they can be crushed up in a mini chopper to be used in a sandwich spread or incorporated into a tuna salad sandwich.
