Savoury and crispy, you’re going to want to make a double batch of these Garlic Basil Roasted Chickpeas!

Savoury Oven Roasted Chickpeas

I’m so in love with these savoury oven roasted chickpeas! Basil is my all time favourite herb so it was only a matter on time before I somehow incorporated it into a snack. I suggest you make a huge batch of these because I could not keep my hangs off them after they’ve roasted up.

Roasted chickpeas makes for a great meal prepped snack as they’re high in protein and fibre! Plus, having a batch ready on hand is great as these crispy chickpeas makes for a great topping – I toss them on top of soups and salads!

My top tips for the best oven roasted chickpeas

Make sure your chickpeas are 100% dried before putting them into the oven. The less moisture there is on your chickpeas, the more crispy they will be.
Peel your chickpeas. I know it takes a while, but it’s worth it!! To loosen the skin, I run it under water, and while the chickpeas are in the water, I rub them between my hands. After that, the skin will usually come off faster/float to the top of the water, making it easier to skim.
I feel that making your own chickpeas really adds to the flavor. While canned chickpeas are fine, when I cook my own chickpeas from dried, I cook them with garlic and onion, adding extra flavor to the chickpeas! Here’s how I cook chickpeas from dried via my Instant Pot.

onion salt — guys, don’t skip this! This really ties it all together. If you don’t have onion salt, combine some onion powder with a pinch of salt

How to store roasted chickpeas

To keep your chickpeas crispy overtime, store them in a container or jar but don’t seal the lid as the moisture can cause the chickpeas to go soggy after a while.
