My family has fallen in love with this crunchy little snack
(well, 4 out of 5 of us anyway). If you have never heard of this before, you
may be a little skeptical, but trust me, these things are addictive! I use the
dried chickpeas and cook them in the slow cooker before roasting them. But, if
you want to eliminate that step, you can use canned beans instead.
Roasted Chickpeas
2 -16oz. cans chickpeas or ½ pound dried chickpeas, cooked and cooled
1 Tbsp. olive oil
Cajun seasoning to taste
Salt to taste
Rinse and drain chickpeas. Pour out onto a dry dish towel to
soak up any additional water. Remove the skins that have separated from the
chickpeas and discard. Put the chickpeas onto a 10x15 cookie sheet. Drizzle
with olive oil and, using your hands, toss to coat. Bake at 400˚ for 35-45
minutes, or until golden and crispy. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and salt.
Eat warm or cooled.
Frugal Tip: Use
dried chickpeas instead of the canned for these Roasted Chickpeas, it is
definitely cheaper. A one pound bag of dried chickpeas costs $.84 at my grocery
store. The canned equivalent costs $3.36.

ReplyDeleteHow do you season your roasted chickpeas?
DeleteHi there I been using this recipe for a while now and i trying out the dried chick peas like you recommened but however how do i make it like the one in the can ?? Please help and thank you in advance
ReplyDeleteWhen using dry chickpeas, I typically soak them overnight in a large bowl, covered with cold water. Overnight they will swell up and absorb the water. In the morning, I drain the water, pour them into a slow cooker, cover with fresh cold water, and cook on low until fully cooked (4-6 hours).
DeleteThey can also be cooked on top of the stove after they have been soaked overnight. Drain the water, pour into a large stockpot, cover with fresh cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, turn the heat to low and simmer until cooked (1-1 1/2 hours).
I hope this helps, let me know if you have any further questions. And, thanks for visiting You Can Make That!
