Best Recipe for Roasted Chickpeas 3 Ways
Ingredients
- Three 15-ounce cans chickpeas
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated onion
- Kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons distilled vinegar
- Zest of 1 lime
- Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon granulated onion
- Kosher salt
Instructions
- For the chickpeas: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Put a few layers of paper towels on your work surface. Strain and rinse the chickpeas in a colander, then shake off as much water as possible. Transfer them to the paper towels, top with more paper towels, then pat them gently and roll them around a bit to dry. Discard any papery skins that have peeled off or are about to. Slide the chickpeas onto a large rimmed baking sheet, and let stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- Roast the chickpeas, stirring them occasionally to keep them from burning in spots, until a little shriveled and pretty crispy, about 45 minutes. Start checking them at around 35 minutes to make sure they are not burning.
- Meanwhile, make the seasoning mixes. For the Taco Seasoning: Mix the chili powder, coriander, cumin, granulated garlic and onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
- For the Vinegar-Lime Seasoning: Mix the vinegar, lime zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
- For the Onion-Garlic Seasoning: Mix the granulated garlic and onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
- When the chickpeas are done, divide them evenly among 3 medium bowls. Toss each batch with 1 tablespoon of the oil, then toss 1 batch with each of the seasoning mixes.
- Return the chickpeas to the baking sheet, keeping each batch separate. Roast them for 3 minutes, just to cook the seasonings slightly. Let cool completely on the pan on a rack, about 30 minutes, then transfer to airtight containers. The chickpeas will keep for 1 day and will soften slightly as they sit.
