Spicy Crisped Chickpeas (baked version) – VEGAN & GLUTEN FREE

crunchy & crispy chickpeas roasted in oven with some simple flavor and completely vegan, gluten free snack option

A cup of tea and snacks are a perfect rescue to evening hunger pangs for most Indians. During tea time one can ditch the regular fried snacks for healthy ones. And for these cases, microwave ovens are the wonder ones. Besides from just reheating food, baking cakes and cookies etc one can make some healthy snacks which are perfect to match for tea time snacks within minutes.

Today’s post is similar to that kind of snacks which are Spicy Crisped Chickpeas (baked version). The whole procedure is quite easy and simple. Just add everything into a mixing bowl, gently toss and then spread over a baking tray and finally roast till crisp from all side. It is that much simple and the only thing here is the time of roasting. 

Tips to get well roasted chickpeas :

• Always roast in batches. If the baking tray is crowded with chickpeas then the roasting cant be done evenly.
• The coating must be as thin layer as possible. If it is more, then the roasting time is more.

The spices one can choose as desired. I have taken the simple one as paprika with some lemon juice. Also I have added the turmeric powder to get the yellowish color of the roasted chickpeas. Completely gluten free and vegan snack these are. For munching at any time of the day these crunchy spicy chickpeas are just perfect. If serving for kids one can skip the addition of paprika here.
