A quick and easy snack featuring crispy roasted chickpeas seasoned with pink Himalayan salt and fresh rosemary, delivering a satisfying crunch and herbal flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups chickpeas (about 1 can or 360g), drained and rinsed thoroughly
  • 1 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon finely ground pink Himalayan salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel and let air-dry for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil until lightly coated.
  4. Add pink Himalayan salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and rosemary to the bowl. Toss again until chickpeas are evenly coated.
  5. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread chickpeas out in a single layer.
  6. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, shaking the pan or stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even roasting.
  7. Check for doneness by tasting a chickpea after 25 minutes; it should be crisp outside with a slightly tender center. Roast up to 5 more minutes if needed, watching carefully.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes to crisp up further.

Notes

Dry chickpeas thoroughly before roasting to ensure crispiness. Stir every 10 minutes to prevent burning and promote even roasting. Fresh rosemary is preferred for aroma, but dried rosemary can be used at half the amount. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days; reheat in oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to restore crunch.
