Crunchy Chickpeas (Vegan)

The best part about this snack is that you don’t have to cook the chickpeas prior to baking. If you aren’t comfortable using dry beans, this recipe will help you get your feet wet. You simply soak the chickpeas, season, and bake them in the oven.

These crunchy chickpeas make a great snack.

Ingredients

• 1 lbs dry chickpeas
• Seasonings such as nutritional yeast, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, black pepper
• Water, if needed, to make the seasonings stick to the chickpeas

Directions

1. Soak chickpeas overnight.
2. Drain chickpeas.
3. Add desired spices and mix. For reference, we like about 1/2 cup nutritional yeast, 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tsp powdered salt, and 1 tsp black pepper.
4. Bake on baking sheet at 350ºF for 20 minutes. Stir. Bake for another 15 minutes. Stir. Bake for another 10 minutes. Chickpeas are crunchy when done. Bake longer if needed.
5. Let cool and then store in air tight container.

Alternative Directions

For a more delicate crunch, try using a dehydrator.

1. Soak 1 pound of dry in water overnight.
2. Cook the chickpeas:
   • Pressure Cooker: Put soaked chickpeas in the pot and cover with water. Cook for 35 minutes on high.
   • Stove: Put soaked chickpeas in a pot and cover with water. Bring to boil then simmer for 1 hour 30 minutes.
3. Put the cooked chickpeas in the refrigerator until cold.
4. Mix chickpeas with seasonings and put on dehydrator sheets and smooth out to make a single layer.
5. Dehydrate at 165° for 8 hours. Results will vary depending on the relative humidity in your area. Dehydrate longer if needed.
