    Roasted Chickpeas

    Roasted Chickpeas are a simple high fibre snack that gluten free cooks should try. Enjoy them as a crunchy snack, in place of croutons on salad or sprinkled on any Middle Eastern or Mediterranean inspired bowl.

    Chickpeas are a rich source of vitamins and minerals plus are known to improve digestion. Everyone needs a handful of chickpea recipes beyond hummus. I love chickpea curries, soups and all those Middle Eastern dishes like Persian Chicken Stew and this healthy Falafel Bowl.

    Ingredients

    I love recipes that use up a whole can but that's doesn't always happen. Whether it's coconut milk or chickpeas, you need a recipe to use it up. This is what I make when I have less than the full can of chickpeas leftover from some recipe.

    • canned chickpeas
    • olive oil
    • seasoning of your choice: paprika, curry powder, cumin, chili powder or any combination you like

    See recipe card for exact amounts.

    Eat More Legumes and Pulses

    You don’t need to remember the difference between legumes and pulses. All you need to know is they are nutritious, high in fibre and should be part of a healthy gluten free diet. We all need to eat more vegetables.

    • Legumes are plants whose fruit is enclosed in a pod like fresh beans, soybeans (edamame), peas and peanuts.
    • Pulses specifically refer to the dried seed of a legume. Dried peas, edible beans (like kidney beans), lentils and chickpeas are all pulses.

    So find a few recipes that sound good and figure out how to fit them into your regular rotation of meals and snacks. Here are some of my favourites by category.

    • Snacks: Easy Edamame Bean Snack or Black Bean Dip
    • Lunch: Easy Bean Salad, veggies with hummus or Lentil Red Pepper Soup
    • Appetizers: Falafel Balls with Tahini Sauce
    • Main Course: Persian Chicken Stew or Falafel Bowls

    What To Make with Chickpea Flour

    If you haven't tried it yet you might want to learn a little bit about How To Use Chickpea Flour.

    I love it in vegetable fritters (pakoras) and that Mediterranean flatbread, socca. I also use it in my Double Chocolate Banana Bread, no one would ever guess it had chickpea flour.

    Get The Tools

    All you need to make roasted chickpeas is a baking sheet and some parchment paper.

    • Transfer to baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt and toss.
