Zero Point Roasted Crispy Chickpeas Snack Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the drained and rinsed chickpeas completely dry using paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving maximum crispiness during roasting.
In a large bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil, ensuring each pea is well coated.
In a small bowl, mix together ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. This spice blend will infuse the chickpeas with a delightful medley of flavors.
Sprinkle the spice blend over the chickpeas, tossing them until evenly coated. This ensures that each chickpea carries the perfect balance of seasonings.
Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This allows for even roasting and ensures each chickpea achieves a crispy texture.
Roast the chickpeas in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they become golden brown and crispy. Shake the baking sheet halfway through the roasting time to promote uniform crispiness.
For an added burst of freshness, zest a lemon over the roasted chickpeas as soon as they come out of the oven.
Sprinkle finely chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, over the roasted chickpeas for a vibrant finish.
Allow the roasted chickpeas to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. This helps them crisp up further and intensifies the flavors.
Serve the Zero Point Weight Watchers Roasted Crispy Chickpeas as a standalone snack or as a crunchy topping for salads and soups.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness for later enjoyment.
