Roasted Garlic Herb Chickpeas
These are easy to make and can be seasoned with whatever you have on hand or in the mood for. I like changing up the seasoning depending on what I am eating these with. This recipe is my favorite though, I think I nailed the spice combo, and they are hard to stop eating. They make an incredible snack and are the perfect protein for any salad, sandwich, or meal. These can also be baked but I found the crunch to be better on the air fried version. I know I mention my air frier a lot, but it really is the perfect kitchen appliance.
Keep these in the fridge for up to 5 days in a sealed container and I will sometimes air fry them for a couple of minutes to reheat them. They are also great cold.

Roasted Garlic Herb Chickpeas
Ingredients
- 2-15.5 Ounce cans organic chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans)
- 1 TBSP Olive oil or vegan ghee
- 2 TSP Garlic powder
- 2 TSP TJ’s Green Goddess seasoning
- 1 TSP TJ’s Citrusy Garlic seasoning
- 1 TSP Herbes de Provence
- Salt to taste (I like TJ’s wine infused salt grinder)
- 1 TSP TJ’s 21 Seasoning Salute
- 1 TSP TJ’s Onion Salt
- ½ TSP TJ’s Za’atar seasoning
Instructions
- If baking, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
- Add them to a large bowl.
- I like to peel the skins off the chickpeas, but you can leave them on if you don’t have the time. I just find them to be a pain on the backend, so I prefer to take them off in the beginning.
- Add olive oil or melted vegan ghee and stir well to fully coat the chickpeas.
- Add all the dry seasonings and toss well to coat evenly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until crispy, tossing well halfway.
- If air frying, cook at 380 degrees for 12 minutes, tossing halfway. This is my preferred method of making these for a variety of reasons.
- Keep these in the fridge for up to 5 days in a sealed container and I will sometimes air fry them for a couple of minutes to reheat them. They are also great cold.
Notes:
Cook time is just an estimate. I would cook them 3-4 hours, but they will be okay at around 1 ½ -2 hours if you are cut for time. As long as the bitterness is cooked out and they are soft, you are good.
