Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them thoroughly. If using dried chickpeas, ensure they have been soaked overnight and then cooked until tender.
- Pat the chickpeas dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Removing as much moisture as possible is essential for achieving a crispy texture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Mix well to ensure the chickpeas are evenly coated.
- Add 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of red pepper. Stir the chickpeas until they are uniformly covered with the spices.
- Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Stir the chickpeas halfway through the baking time to ensure even roasting.
- Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chickpeas cool for a few minutes.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of finely chopped coriander leaves over the chickpeas for a fresh, vibrant flavor.
- Serve the roasted chickpeas as a snack or a topping for salads and other dishes.
Tips:
- For an extra crispy texture, make sure to thoroughly dry the chickpeas before roasting.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of spice to suit your taste preferences. Add more red pepper for extra heat or reduce it for a milder flavor.
- You can experiment with other spices such as garlic powder or paprika to add different flavor profiles.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them crisp.
- If you're using canned chickpeas, make sure to rinse and drain them well before roasting.
There you have it—crunchy, spicy, and utterly irresistible Indian-style roasted chickpeas! This recipe is simple yet bursting with flavors that will keep you coming back for more. Enjoy them warm from the oven or store them for a quick, tasty snack later.
