Ingredients
Scale
Chickpeas
- 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained, rinsed, and patted very dry
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon dill pickle juice
- 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Chickpeas: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the drained, rinsed, and thoroughly dried chickpeas evenly on the baking sheet to ensure they roast evenly.
- First Roast: Roast the chickpeas in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to promote even cooking. Roast until the chickpeas are golden and crisp on the outside.
- Make the Seasoning Mixture: While the chickpeas roast, whisk together olive oil, dill pickle juice, dried dill weed, garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
- Toss Chickpeas in Seasoning: Remove the roasted chickpeas from the oven and immediately transfer to a mixing bowl. Toss the warm chickpeas thoroughly in the dill pickle seasoning mixture so every piece is well coated.
- Final Roast: Return the seasoned chickpeas to the baking sheet and roast for an additional 5 to 10 minutes to enhance crispiness and allow the flavors to meld.
- Cool and Serve: Let the chickpeas cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. This resting time helps maintain their crunch.
Notes
- Ensuring the chickpeas are patted very dry before roasting is essential for maximum crunchiness.
- Adjust the amount of dill and pickle juice to suit your taste preference if a stronger flavor is desired.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
