Roasted chickpeas make a great, real food snack, salad addition, or side dish. You can make them about a million different ways so they never get old, and if you choose to dehydrate them after you roast them, they’ll keep well in your fridge or pantry.
Here are 5 great recipes we really love! But be sure to check my notes on each one: I have changed the ingredients from the original author’s recipe to make these McKenna approved, so they won’t steal your energy and keep you on the path to optimal health. MY ingredients are below each picture, and you can click to the recipe page for instructions (in most cases, you just coat the chickpeas in these ingredients and roast for 45 minutes at 350 degrees fahrenheit, shaking the pan to turn them every 15 to keep them from burning. Let them cool and then store them in snack bags in your fridge!
