After revisiting my Curry & Sriracha Roasted Cauliflower, I thought why not do a batch of chickpeas too. So glad I did because they make a terrific snack for almost anytime of day!

I’m also out to keep the campaign going to, ‘EAT MORE CHICKPEAS!’ Fair enough, and I know the chickens would agree too. I can hear them cheering me on as I type – well not really, but if they knew my plan they surely would.

These roasted chickpeas are yet another great way to add this versatile little bean into your life. Full of protein and fiber, they toast up nicely and take on a variety of flavors making them a great anytime of day snack.

Skip the chips and roast up a batch of chickpeas instead. They are super easy to make, you may even want to double up the recipe as they can go pretty fast.

Try adding these to salads and soups, they make great toppers too. For variety, try these Chipotle Roasted Chickpeas or Crispy Roasted Chickpeas and get creative with the chickpeas!

How To Make Roasted Curry & Sriracha Chickpeas

Roasted chickpeas are so easy to make, it only takes a few steps:

  • Start by drying the chickpea between a kitchen towel and remove any lose skins.
  • Next add the chickpeas, oil, curry, sriracha, garlic powder and salt to a medium size bowl and combine well to coat.
  • Place chickpeas in a single layer on a roasting pan or rimmed cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, silpat (<affiliate links), or lightly greased with oil.
  • Bake for about 40-45 minutes stirring every 10 minutes or so until chickpeas have a nice roasted look and are crispy.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

How To Store Roasted Chickpeas To Keep Them Crispy

Keep your chickpeas crispy by storing them in a container that lets air flow through. If stored in an airtight container they will soften up and lose their crunchiness.

  1. If using canned chickpeas, do you have to cook them prior to putting them in the oven? I used them straight from the can (rinsed and dried them as well) but after being in the oven for 40 minutes they were quite small, and didn’t really look like the photos. Nevertheless, they still tasted really good and quickly disappeared!

      Great question, Tasha! That is exactly how the photos in this roasted chickpeas was made, with canned chickpeas – drained and patted dry. Maybe the photo makes them appear bigger, but they are just plain canned chickpeas cooked for the amount of time called for in the recipe. I’m so glad you enjoyed them! They are a favorite around here. :)

  2. Nice recipe! Do you store them at room temperature? Thank you.

    1. Julie | The Simple Veganista says:

      Yes, we store them at room temp. Enjoy!

  3. These sound delicious! If I am making a large batch to eat throughout the week do I need to refrigerate them?

    1. Julie | The Simple Veganista says:

      No, just keep them in a jar or bowl on the counter. You may like to keep the cover ajar. No need to refrigerate. Enjoy, they are so good!

    I’ve tried almost a dozen different roasted chickpeas snacks, and yours is the first I want to make again. I’m really bummed out right now because I don’t have any more chickpeas at home right now, Thanks for the recipe.

  5. Patrice Bagél says:

    I am confused as to how I would be able to get a heaped teaspoon of oil.

    Any help on this would be much appreciated.

    1. It doesn’t say a heaped teaspoon of oil…

  6. This seems to have a high sodium content. Where does it come from?

    1. Julie | The Simple Veganista says:

      I checked the nutrition info I had inputted and the salt was not correct. I have corrected it using 1/8 teaspoon salt. Thanks you for bringing it to my attention. Cheers!
