These crispy and spicy roasted chickpeas conceal a mouth-watering collection of flavors and make a delicious appetizer. You could make this dish any time of year, and I think they make a wonderful New Years Eve party snack.
Note: To cook the chickpeas, soak the dried chickpeas overnight in cold water. Drain the chickpeas and put in a saucepan with enough cold water to cover generously. Bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 10-15 minutes. Drain.
Serves 2-4
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked organic chickpeas or 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained, rinsed and completely patted dry
- 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds oil (or oil of choice)
- 1 Tbsp. fresh ginger
- 2 Tbsp. sesame seeds
- 1 tsp paprika
- lemon zest from 1/2 lemon
- pinch of cayenne pepper
- salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400F.
In a large bowl combine the chickpeas, oil, spices and salt. Mix well. Place chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for about 20-30 minutes. If you like them very crispy then bake 10 minutes longer. Toss chickpeas few times while baking.

Your bowl is perfect:-)
I have been perusing chickpeas today having been offered..the cookbook Jerusalem...for Christmas from my friend Nancy..
Your photos could have easily been in that book Yelena:-)
Scrumptious! That is something I could eat all the time.

These would be wonderful as nibbles with drinks but would be equally as delicious sprinkled over a salad bowl or as part of a nutritious, healing Buddha bowl which I am MOST in need of after too many luxury Christmas Nacho's eaten with too much Christmas booze this year. Cheers for this delicious, simple and wholesome share :)
