So let’s talk about how easy it is to make taco roasted chickpeas!
ROASTED CHICKPEAS RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
- Chickpeas: Also called garbanzo beans.
- Olive oil: Using the full 2 tbsp of olive oil will make the chickpeas crispier. You can use less if desired, but the chickpeas will not be as crispy.
- Taco seasoning: This is the homemade taco seasoning recipe I use, but you can also use store bought taco seasoning.
HOW TO COOK CRISPY CHICKPEAS:
- Preheat the oven: 400°F.
- Rinse and dry chickpeas: Rinse and drain chickpeas. Dry the chickpeas well using a dish towel or paper towel.
- Season chickpeas: Add the chickpeas to a medium sized bowl. Add olive oil and seasoning to the bowl and stir to coat the chickpeas evenly.
- Bake: Place chickpeas on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30-40 minutes stirring every 15 minutes or until desired crispiness is reached.
HOW TO STORE OVEN ROASTED CHICKPEAS:
- Once completely cool, store in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.
- The chickpeas are crispiest when they are fresh. They will be less crisp after they are stored, but they will still be delicious!
