Anyone ever roasted chickpeas?

We’re they nice? What flavourings did you use

Yes. They were very dry though. I just dusted with curry powder. I thought they would be a healthy crunchy snack which they were I suppose.

Cumin and paprika here. Yes dry, but nice as part of a salad with houmous etc

Love them as a snack or a topping for salad. Usually roast them either just with salt, smoked paprika or curry

I roast them for 25 mins with a drizzle of soy sauce and olive oil.

Coat them in olive oil and a mix of spices (I usually do cumin and chilli powder), and salt. Some of mine always explode though, I'm not sure if they're too wet or something.

I prefer them crunchy, but if you like them softer, add some of the aquafaba (chickpea liquid) from the tin or cooking pan.

I add all sorts of things. My kids love nutritional yeast on them (has a kind of nutty, slightly cheesy flavour). I mostly use spices, so things like cumin, coriander, ras el hanout, zaatar, cinnamon - obviously not at the same time!

Chickpeas are quite forgiving, so if there's a spice/herb combo you like, try it. I like to take a few spoons of the aquafaba and mix that with the spices. I then mix my chickpeas into the mix, as I get more even coverage.

If you save the aquafaba, it can be used as an egg substitute in baking. I'm not vegan, but I find that more convenient as eggs never get used up.

Yes but they take a long time to cook until crunchy.

I used salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chilli powder and smoked paprika. Very delicious but not worth the 50mins to cook.

I use a Cajun spice mix on mine, I eat them warm from the oven and love them! Salted are nice as well. Just use any flavour you already like.

Yes, I love them. I put various things on them. Lovely just with salt and black pepper but cumin and lemon zest are both very good. They are also nice fried with onions and seasoning.
