Pan Roasted Chickpeas are a super-healthy snack that couldn’t be easier to make. These seasoned chickpeas make a great addition to soups and salads and are a great way to add crunch and flavor to any meal.

Full disclosure…I’ve never been a fan of chickpeas. I’m not sure what it was, but for years they were a big no for me. Now, I’ve changed my mind. You see, I never want to be considered a “stick in the mud” kind of person who never tries anything new.

Last week, I grabbed a couple of cans of garbanzo beans, the official name for chickpeas, some olive oil, salt and pepper, and a skillet. After seasoning and roasting those babies for a few minutes, I tried them. After just one bite, my attitude towards chickpeas was changed forever!

Why You’ll Love Pan Roasted Chickpeas

  • These chickpeas have a great texture! They are crispy on the outside and creamy and tender on the inside.
  • You can customize them with any spice blend that you like.
  • This is a one-pan recipe made in about 20 minutes.
  • They are a nutritious plant-based protein loaded with fiber.
  • Chickpeas are an inexpensive way to stretch your budget and a meal.

Roasted Chickpeas Recipe Tips

  • Make sure the chickpeas are dry before roasting. Drain them, then rinse. Next, I line a sheet pan with paper towels and then spread the chickpeas to dry.
  • Once the chicken are roasted, place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet to cool.
  • Store pan roasted chickpeas in an airtight container in the fridge. They will soften, so to add back the crunch, place them in a dry skillet and heat over medium for a couple of minutes.

Ways To Serve

Soups and salads are no-brainers, but I also like to serve roasted chickpeas in several other ways.

  • As a topping for Crock Pot Potato Soup, Sweet Potato Soup or Healthy Mushroom Soup.
  • Tossed into Spaghetti Salad, Skillet Green Beans or Instant Pot Garlic Parmesan Noodles.
