Vegan Oil-Free Roasted Pizza Chickpeas
A delicious and healthy snack that's rich in fibre and protein!
- 2 cups chickpeas cooked or canned, drained well
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- Black pepper to taste
- *Optional-2 teaspoons melted coconut oil (see notes)
Preheat the oven to 400° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the chickpeas to a medium/large bowl. Put all the spices in a small bowl and mix together.
Spread the spices evenly over the chickpeas and toss until all chickpeas are coated in spices.
Transfer to the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and shake them around and return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes! Enjoy as a snack, add them to a salad, put them in a wrap or on top of a baked potato!
- If using coconut oil, drizzle the coconut oil over the chickpeas and then toss them with the spices. I've added this option for those who do enjoy oil and really want a crispier roasted pizza chickpea.
- Without oil, the chickpeas won’t get as crispy. Instead, they will be a little chewy, which I love!
- As these pizza chickpeas cool completely they will soften a little more. Keep them in a sealed container in the fridge.
