Roasted chickpeas are an addictive, high protein snack that taste great with so many different seasonings. My savory roasted chickpeas recipe is one of my most popular posts, and this chipotle lime version is just as delicious. A half cup of cooked chickpeas has almost 8 grams of protein, which is much higher than most snack foods. Leave them in the oven until they’re nice and crispy. You can store them in an airtight container for several days, but you may want to put them under the broiler for a minute to get them crunchy again.

What’s your favorite way to enjoy chickpeas?
Thank you! looking forward to these.
Hi! How do I cook the chick peas first?
Thank you!
Christine, for best results, follow the instructions on your package of dried chickpeas. They typically need to be soaked overnight, then simmered for about an hour.
These sound great, but what is chipotles in adobo sauce?
Chipotles are smoked jalapeno peppers, Natalie.
Annemarie,
Yum! I cooked up a bag of chick peas the other day, and conveniently froze the excess in 2 cup portions!
This looks terrific. Thanks!
Thanks, Kirsten! You’re definitely a freezer expert, so I’m not surprised you froze them in 2-cup portions.
These sound delicious Anne Marie. Thanks This looks great for summer parties. Thanks for sharing it during Our Little Family Adventures Friday Community Party on Facebook.
Have a great weekend.
