These crunchy Roasted Garbanzos are a tasty snack that is easy to prepare right at home.
If you’re looking for healthy snack options these easy and tasty roasted garbanzos, or chickpeas, are just the ticket. They also make a delicious healthy snack for on the go, which is always a challenge to find. Pack a baggie full of this crunchy snack and you’re ready to go!
Roasted Garbanzos are not only super easy to prepare, but they are a good source for dietary fiber and protein. Tasty and healthy! Win! Win! Another thing I like about roasting garbanzos (chickpeas), is that you can change up the seasonings to make your own unique version. This version is bit spicy, but not too much. Of course the seasoning amounts can be easily adjusted to your preference.
The trick with roasting garbanzos is tossing the beans about every 10-15 minutes as they roast. Ovens will vary, but it takes about 45 minutes of total cook time to get them crunchy. Before removing them from the oven, I recommend doing a quick taste test (let it cool first!) to see if they are crunchy and crispy, then add more time as needed.

I’m happy to have an ongoing relationship with Bush’s Beans, but this is not a sponsored post. I just like their beans.
I love that these have a kick. Great healthy snack!
May have to give these a try tonight. They look delicious!
These look great! I like hummus, but that’s the ONLY way I’ve ever tried chickpeas. :S I guess I’ll have to give these a try!
Wei-Wei
I LOVE roasted chickpeas! I make a huge batch every Sunday and munch on them through the week. I have been boring and just add salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You know what else is delicious?! Pumpkin spice on them!
What an interesting treat! May have to try them!
The perfect snack for the pool! I’m all over it!
P.S. I’ve decided that I must now refer to you as “Queen Bean”…if you don’t mind that is! 🙂
Wow, I’ve never heard of this! Excellent idea. Reminds me of Corn Nuts
These look awesome! I’m gonna make it!
I love garbanzo beans..this recipe is something I am definitely going to make it. I have one question. If you have leftover beans, must they be refrigerated? Thanks.
I love doing this with them. Super yummy! Have you had these in chocolate chip cookies yet??? Super good. For reals.
I have a bag of dried garbanzos in my cabinet. I’ll have to try this. I can get the crunch that I love without the guilt!

i’ve been working on a post about roasted garbanzos, but i’m not even gonna bother with it now–you’ve summed them up perfectly. 🙂
What temperature do you need to cook them at? 400???
I’m going to make these this afternoon and try them out on the kids poolside. Great, great idea and a mouthwatering photograph, thank you!
I have tried this technique before… but never those exact spices. I have a feeling that your recipe is a WINNER!! Looks delish!!

Wow, Amy, you are so creative! I’m quite sure I’ve never had a roasted garbanzo bean but your post now has me absolutely craving some. Now thinking of all kinds of spice combos, too. Hmmm.
What a great idea! My family LOVES garbanzo beans. So much so, that we have put them in our garden for the first time this year.
