With the festive season here and all the extra eating and celebrating we do, a healthy tasty snack is always welcome. Even if you aren’t a chicpea fan, I urge you to try this easy recipe, the crispy light nutty result is well worth the time in the oven. I would suggest doubling or even tripling this recipe and use any combination of spice you would prefer.
Spicy Roasted Chicpeas
Ingredients
1 tsp cumin seed
2 tsp coriander seed
1 tsp paprika
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tin chicpeas – drained and rinsed

- Grind all the spices together and place in a bowl, add the oil and stir to combine.

Loving the addition of paprika to the chickpeas. I’m absolutely in love with paprika, so that’s definitely something I’ll incorporate the next time make this dish. If you have a minute, I’d love your thoughts on my roasted chickpeas! 🙂 https://goodfoodmarsh.wordpress.com/2014/09/04/vegan-bonanaza-vegan-mofo-3/
I was contemplating a little smoked paprika but was worried it would overpower all the other flavours. Have a wonderful day. 🙂 xo

I love roasted chickpeas but only discovered them a while ago while doing a kitchen experiment! Roasting them with spices take the chickpeas to a whole other level! These look just stunning & ever so tasty too, Mandy! xxx
I really should incorporate them more into our diet. Have a super day Sophie. :-)xo
Nice!

An all round winner Belle. Have a wonderful day. 🙂 xo
This is moving right to my “must make” list, Mandy. Spicy and crunchy without being fried. What’s not to love? Have a great week.
Aww, how awesome to have you put this on your must make list John! Hope you enjoy them. Have a great week too and give Max a scratch behind his ear from me. 🙂 xo
I always love to have spicy nuts at Christmas time with a drink. And although these aren’t nuts, they’d be equally as good. I do love cumin and coriander combined xx
Cumin and coriander is a favourite of mine too Charlie. Hope your legs are feeling better today. 🙂 xo
We buy these by the packet in Indian stores, but your chickpeas look even better – gorgeous 😀
Cheers

How lovely to be able to buy them already roasted CCU. Have a beautiful day. 🙂 xo
Mandy,
these look FABULOUS. I love Chicpeas!! xxxx
Ps. I watched something VERY disturbing about lions last week. I will write to ask u about this.
Maybe we can enjoy a few of these over a glass of wine one day. 😀
I am incredibly sensitive to animals and can’t watch a kill so hope I am able to help you with an answer about the lions.
Have a beautiful day Kim. 🙂 xoxoxo

This recipe is perfect, and will look stella in a mason jar too. Thanks lovely! Wishing you a super day and a brilliant weekend. Hugs and love from Aus! xox
Aww Anna, what an honour for you to like my little recipe enough to use as Christmas gifts. We shall have to play in the kitchen when you are here and come up with a few new ideas.

Sorry I’m late – was too busy working out how to quadruple the recipe! I love these but never make them and I really should (and will!). They remind me of holidays in Italy as a child – on the beach sellers used to wander up and down selling honeyed nuts and spicy chickpeas (they are called ceci there – pronounced Chechi) to nibble on between sunbathing and swimming…happy days!
Oh Tanya, what a beautiful childhood memory. I shall think of you when I next make a batch. Have a beautiful week ahead. 🙂 xo
What a brilliant combination for chickpeas. I love chickpeas, they are indispensable and this is a beautiful way to present them 😀
Hi Merryn, thank you for your very kind words. Have a wonderful and happy day. 🙂 xo
What a great idea to use chickpeas. I will definitely be trying this – so simple, but so different!
Hi Colette, I hope you enjoy these as much as I do, they really are a wonderful snack for the holidays. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day. 🙂 xo
Tres chic mon ami!
