Thank you so much Karen for requesting this recipe!! They turned out really yummy and were the perfect little snack! She sent me this recipe from a Weight Watchers cookbook and, after seeing all the ingredients, knew I’d love this. They remind me of honey roasted peanuts except with a kick of cayenne pepper and chili powder for spice. You can cook them for 10 to 20 minutes if you want them a bit mushy inside or around 35 minutes like I did if you like them crunchy! Perfect to throw in a dish for an upcoming party or when you have company over and you save a ton of calories from traditional salty peanuts! Feel free to try and type of seasoning or spice you like, you really can’t go wrong. Hope you enjoy them!

Toss these roasted chickpeas with some spinach, olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Oh my! I also add a little bit of garlic salt.
Hi Kelly – I’ve posted a link to your recipe as a resource for my readers. I’m a big fan of roasted chickpeas. Love the crunch!
Such a great healthy snack!!! MMM
TOTALLY making this!!!
Finally gave this recipe a try today. Surprisingly crispy!! I really want to add honey/sugar to make them honey roasted, but that’ll just pack on the cals!
YUM! These are GREAT with taco seasoning and BBQ spice rub on them, too!! SO yummy! Or even plain with some garlic salt.
Such a good snack!
How can there be two carbs and five grams of fiber?
Thanks for visiting. I have boiled up chickpeas in the fridge so I will give this a shot. I’ve seen it in my Mark Bittman and have always meant to try it, now that you’ve posted it’s about time. (Especially as it looks SO easy).
Looks like a delicious dish! love chickpeas:) Thanks for sharing!
Oh, what a good idea! I never roasted chickpeas and like these ingredients. Nice snack!
