Tips

  • Chickpeas are a great plant-based source of protein, fibre and vitamins. Eating a diet high in fibre can help reduce your risk of bowel cancer.  
  • Choose no-added-salt varieties to reduce your sodium intake. 
  • These crunchy chickpeas make a healthy alternative to chips. 

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container. 

  • You can save money by cooking dried chickpeas. Just cool and pat dry. 
  • 1 cup of dried beans equals 2 cans of chickpeas. 
  • You can save money by using home brand chickpeas.

Pre-heat the oven to 200oC. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Step 2
Toss the chickpeas in a bowl with the olive oil and salt and pepper.

Step 3
Spread the chickpeas evenly on the baking tray.

Step 4
Roast for 20-30 minutes until golden and crispy, shaking the tray every 10 minutes.

Step 5
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the garlic powder and paprika.
