Firecracker Chickpeas

Makes 3 portions | 5 mins prep / 30 mins roast

Crispy smokey-chilli roasted chickpeas. A fiery, protein-packed bite that makes a perfect on-the-go snack. Naturally crunchy alternative to crisps with no refined flours or ultra-processed ingredients.

• Ingredients

  • 1 tin chickpeas, drained, rinsed and patted dry

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • ½ tsp garlic granules

  • ½ tsp onion granules

  • ¼ tsp chilli powder (If you like spice)

  • ¼ tsp chilli flakes (If you like spice)

  • Pinch of salt and pepper

• Method

  STEP 1 .
  Heat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  Rinse and dry the chickpeas and put them in a medium bowl.
  Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and mix until evenly coated.
  
  STEP 2.
  Spread chickpeas onto a single layer on the baking tray.
  Roast for 25–30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden and crispy (they should have a good crunch when you bite into one).
  Let them cool for a few minutes to crisp up further.
  Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
