These Lemon Herb Crunchy Chickpeas are roasted to golden perfection, seasoned with rosemary, thyme, and lemon zest for a flavorful snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse chickpeas. Pat dry thoroughly using a clean towel or paper towels. Let them air-dry for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas with olive oil, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the chickpeas on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Roast for 35–40 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through. Watch closely during the last 10 minutes to prevent burning.
  6. Remove from the oven and immediately toss with lemon zest and optional chili flakes.
  7. Let the chickpeas cool completely on the pan for maximum crunch.
  8. Store in an airtight container once fully cooled, or enjoy immediately.
