Roasted chickpeas

Roasted chickpeas – a great alternative to crisps

Roasted chickpeas taste wonderful and are a great alternative to traditional crisps or popcorn. Chickpeas are rich in vegetable protein, 100% gluten-free and have a very nice texture to try in a variety of exciting dishes. Roasted chickpeas can be eaten as a snack, or added to salads or soups instead of croutons. There are plenty of flavouring options too – try and find your favourite combo!

How to make roasted chickpeas?

Cover the baking tray with baking paper and heat the oven to 180 degrees. Then move on to the chickpeas. If using canned chickpeas, rinse the peas under running water before using. However, if you want to cook the chickpeas yourself, soak the dried chickpeas in water for 12 hours and then boil for another 20-30 minutes before putting them in the oven. Once the peas have been rinsed/blanched, place the chickpeas on a baking tray lined with baking paper, add a tablespoon of olive oil and the seasoning and mix so that more or less all of the peas are coated in the seasoning. Then roast the chickpeas in the oven at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Enjoy immediately!
