In the health/natural foods section of our local grocery store while we were in Sydney, there was a jar of roasted chickpeas that we liked to buy and snack on once in a while.  I’ve seen a few recipes on how to make your own roasted chickpeas, so I decided to try it out for myself.

I used garam masala and olive oil to coat the chickpeas.  The jar of roasted chickpeas we bought at the store were really crunchy, like we were biting into a peanut.  The ones I roasted myself were crunchy on the outside, but still a bit soft inside.

They were very nice though and make a great snack.  My husband thought they tasted like chicken skin (that means that he liked them!)!  Both of my chidren liked them as well, which was quite surprising.

A healthy snack that's great for on-the-go or afterschool.
Author: Jamieanne
Recipe type: Snack
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 16-ounce can chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½-1 tablespoon garam masala (totally depends your taste)
Instructions
  1. Drain chickpeas and thoroughly rinse in a colander under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels and place into a bowl. Add olive oil and garam masala and toss to completely coat chickpeas.
  2. Arrange chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet; bake at 350F for 35-50 minutes, depending on your desired level of crunchiness.
Notes
I'd like to note that these are best enjoyed on the same day as roasting; the chickpeas lose their crunchiness by the next day.

    Thanks for the idea! I often buy these to snack on when I’m Indian grocery shopping, but never thought to make my own. In India, they sell them as street food, all warm & wrapped up in a newspaper cone…yum.

    I LOVE roasted chickpeas! I think they are the perfect snack, and I make them all the time. Garam Masala is one of my favorite ways to spice them, but you should also try a little dried herbs and parm, or even a sweet version with cinnamon and sugar. YUMMM

      The Duo Dishes, I couldn’t find garam masala either! A friend of mine found a bottle at Super Wal-Mart of all places and sent me some. Since then I have found it at SuperTarget as well. Hope that helps!

    I’ll be trying these for sure 😉 For anyone trying to find garam masala there is a company called Epicure that has a really good one. I don’t think it’s only in Canada but I have been wrong before. It’s one of those home party companies with sooo many yummy spices and dips.

    Thanks for the recipe!

    It can be tough to find the right ingredients for this blend in my area so I actually purchase the garam masala spice blend from RawSpiceBar’s and it was great!

  • Hello!! I must apologise for my absence of late. I had tried to get the blog back in business last year but it was consuming so much time, which I just can’t give at the moment. Therefore, it is safe to say that the blog is taking an indefinite hiatus (but don’t be surprised if there is an occasional post here and there!). Thank you to everyone who lent a hand in liking and sharing my posts! In the meantime, I have been developing a love for our little furry eight-legged friends - yes, I mean spiders! If you’re keen, please 🙏 send me a DM for my other Instagram account, where you’ll see all my spider and bug photos, plus a few food photos now and then and other random things. Thank you for following me, and don’t give up on Sweetest Kitchen yet, as it’s quite possible I’ll return to foodblogging sometime in the future!
