A prominent part of the Jordanian diet, the chickpea (or garbanzo bean) is one of the major food legume crops in Jordan. Though they appear in a variety of entrées and side dishes such as stews or hummus, in this recipe, chickpeas are seasoned and roasted to eat as a fun snack.

Crunchy but uninteresting.
I made a huge batch and couldn’t fit them all in one layer on the pan, so it took a bit longer, but they were excellent.
Do they get crunchy? What is the texture like?
Yes, they get crunchy are satisfy that need to “munch”! 🙂
Could you just mix the chick peas in a large bowl prior to placing them on baking sheet. Then 1/2 way through just toss/turn ?
Absolutely! I will be mixing the chickpeas with all the spices and a very little bit of oil in a bowl to get evenly covered… Then I will roast at 400° till crispy and crunchy shaking the pan several times throughout the baking time
This looks great and Ill try it soon
Delicious snack item, great texture and flavor.
