Chickpeas Roasted Snack | Salt and Vinegar
These are a great little protein-packed snack and so easy to make! I've tried different versions of roasted chickpeas snack with assorted seasonings and just couldn't get the flavor to pop, until these. Terrific tangy vinegar snack!
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 115kcal
Ingredients
- 1 15 oz can chickpeas (or 1-1/2 cups fresh cooked chickpeas)
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
Instructions
- Drain the chickpeas. The trick to getting that vinegary flavor is to parboil them in vinegar for 15 minutes, then allow them to soak.
- Turn the burner off and allow the pot to sit for 30 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to preven sticking and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Drain vinegar from chickpeas (but don't rinse them) and pour onto a prepared baking sheet. Add garlic powder, sea salt, and parsley flakes and stir them around on the sheet.
- Place in oven at 400 degrees and allow to cook for 45 minutes, STIRRING EVERY 15 MINUTES, just like you do when making party mix. The temperature and frequent stirring is necessary to get them crunchy. Ovens vary so some may only require 45 minutes while others will take longer.
- Watch them very closely and test them when they become golden brown. There really is a fine line between perfect and overcooked, so monitor them constantly at the end. Be prepared when you open the oven door between stirrings. The vinegar will be stout and take you by surprise!
- Remove from oven, allow to cool, and eat!

Notes
Tips & Suggestions:
I have included step-by-step photos and directions above to ensure your first attempt will be successful.
Cooked Beans- Use the convenience of canned chickpeas or cook homemade chickpeas in your Instant Pot in minutes. Either way, the beans do need to be fully cooked before starting this recipe.
Vinegar- Any type of vinegar you prefer can be used such as apple cider, red wine, or others.
Storage- They should last about 5-7 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container. You will need to reheat them in an oven or toaster oven to get that crisp back.
Air Fryer Instructions:
- Place seasoned chickpeas in the air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 360°F and time to 17 minutes.
- After 5 minutes of cooking, open and shake the peas around. Close and continue cooking. Stop and shake about every 5 minutes or so.
- Once they are finished cooking, remove them from the basket, and serve immediately.
