These Crispy Nacho Roasted Chickpeas are a healthy crunchy treat! They are perfect for on the go. I love to pack some in my purse (affiliate link) for when hunger strikes.
Add them to a salad, trail mix, or snack mix. They are a great alternative to nacho cheese snacks.
The nacho seasoning also works great on kale chips.

🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Dry chickpeas and remove as many of the skins as possible with a clean towel. Roll the towel over the chickpeas. The skins will come off and the chickpeas will get dried at the same time.
Step 2: Mix the chickpeas with olive oil and roast until they are crispy.
Step 3: Immediately mix with nacho seasoning, which includes nutritional yeast, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt.
🥡 Storage
If they are thoroughly dried (make sure to remove those skins!), roasted until crunchy, and stored in an airtight container they will last longer than two weeks.
I had a batch of roasted chickpeas that lasted a little over a month. They might have lasted longer had I not finished them off.
💭 Tips
- You may be tempted to skip the drying process, but it helps because the skins hold a lot of water.
- As always, taste as you go. You may want more or less spice of the nacho seasoning. You can always add more, but you can't take it away. If you don't like your food too spicy, start with less and go from there.
- It's important to add the seasoning after roasting the chickpeas because otherwise the seasoning burns on the chickpeas.
