Once I figured out how to make roasted garbanzo beans and how easy it is, I fell in love. Now, this cheesy roasted chickpea recipe is one of my go-to vegan snacks.
How to roast chickpeas
Roasting garbanzo beans in the oven is actually really easy. I prefer to use dried chickpeas that I cook ahead of time, but canned garbanzo beans work well too. I usually bake them at 400°F or 205°C for 20 minutes. Then I flip the chickpeas and bake them for another 20 minutes. However, if you want them extra crispy, you can broil them for the last 5 minutes or so.

Crispy chickpeas are great for snacking. They’re also delicious on top of your favorite salad or soup. Cheesy roasted chickpeas also add a delightful crunch to your favorite veggie bowl.
How to store roasted chickpeas
You might be wondering how to store roasted chickpeas? I recommend an airtight glass container such as a mason jar or weck jar. If they are really crispy, they will keep just fine at room temperature for 1-2 weeks. After about a week, though, I tend to move them to the fridge.
