Roasted chickpeas are a great way to add some healthy crunch to your life, whether as a crispy snack or as a topping for a salad. These roasted little bites are full of flavor and salty satisfaction.

This healthy chickpea recipe is also great for when you’re trying to cut back on sugar, but need something with a satisfying flavor (see my tips on how to detox from sugar). 

What could be better than a healthy snack that is super crunchy and satisfying? See my related article, “Is Chex Mix Healthy?

Chickpeas are legumes and are:

  • High in protein
  • High in fiber
  • Great source of folate and plant-based iron
  • Affordable and versatile

Key Ingredients

ingredients for roasted chickpeas
  • Chickpeas (garbanzo beans): The main ingredient that becomes crispy and golden when roasted, providing a hearty and satisfying base.
  • Coconut oil: Helps coat the chickpeas for even roasting and adds a mild, rich flavor.
  • Italian seasoning (or dried dill and parsley): Enhances the chickpeas with a mix of savory, aromatic herbs for a balanced and flavorful bite (see my list of Italian seasoning substitutes).
  • Garlic powder: Adds a subtle savory undertone that complements the other seasonings.
  • Dried onion: Introduces a slightly sweet, earthy flavor that rounds out the seasoning blend.
  • Salt: Elevates the overall flavor by enhancing the taste of each ingredient.

Step Four

Recipe Tips

  • You can get creative with the spices that you add to your roasted garbanzo beans, but I like to use Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Plus, I always add a little sea salt to add more flavor.
  • Sometimes I like to make a variation of this recipe and use dried dill and dried parsley in addition to the Italian seasoning. It really just depends on which dried herbs you like the most. See my other recipe for Ranch Roasted Chickpeas.
