Roasted BBQ Chickpeas is a crunchy and delicious addicting snack. These Roasted BBQ Chickpeas are crunchy, slightly spicy and totally addictive! Perfect for vegan and gluten free options. A great for a healthy, high-protein snack or to add some crunch to salads or wraps or taco or dips.
The reason I love making roasted chickpeas is because they’re a salty, crunchy, healthy snack alternative to chips that you can make ahead and keep on hand for a week or more without losing any quality in the taste or texture. Perfect for school lunches or afternoon snacks for hungry toddlers.
The secret to getting chickpeas crispy is to dry them really really well. Use a paper towel or dried cloth for patting and if time allows you can even let them air dry a bit. The end goal is a golden-brown crunch outside with a soft and tender middle. The BBQ seasoning, I used is homemade using spices you probably already have on hand. It gives the chickpeas a slightly sweet and smoky flavor, and what makes them oh!! so addicting.
