Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cans of chickpeas (15.5 ounce cans)
- Oil of choose (pick your favorite!)
- Salt
- Flavacol (optional)
- Garlic powder or onion powder (optional)
- Nutritional yeast (optional)
Steps
Preheat oven to 400oF / 204oC
Wash and drain chickpeas.
Pat dry them with a paper towel.
Line a large oven pan with foil and spread out the chickpeas.
Coat with some oil and salt (or optionally Flavacol). Give everything a good mix with your hands.
Put in the oven for 15 minutes. Check on the chickpeas and give them a good shake to loosen them from the foil and flip them over. After 25 minutes, lower the temperature to 250oF / 120oC. At this point you can add in any flavorings you want such as garlic or onion powder. Check/shake every 20 minutes until they are crispy (approximately 1.5 hours total).

Why Chickpea Crisps?
These things are addictive and full of protein! My older son loves bringing them to school for a snack.
They are great as toppings for salads, rice bowls, trail mixes, and even
They are much cheaper!
Just some quick math:
- 2 cans * 0.86 cents/can = $1.72
- Approximately $1/ hour of oven usage
- Total product: ~ 20 ounces
- Cost per ounce for homemade: $2.71/20 ounces = $0.14/ounce.
Cost of store bought crisps are approximately $0.91/ounce.
Why not chickpea crisps?
Hmm… can’t think of any. They do take a bit of time, but it’s not active time. As long as you can check on them from time to time, you can do other things on the side.
Extra Notes!
You can get creative with the toppings and flavorings. Mix it up with black pepper or sometimes try flavoring with sumac for tangy version.
