Ingredients
Chickpeas
- 30 ounces garbanzo beans (chickpeas) (two 15-ounce cans)
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons pickle brine (juice from a pickle jar)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for roasting the chickpeas evenly.
- Drain and Dry Chickpeas: Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly. Place them between two clean towels or paper towels and gently pat dry, removing as much moisture as possible. For extra crunch, you can peel some of the skins off by pressing more firmly, though leaving them on adds fiber and texture.
- Toss with Seasoning: In a bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with the pickle brine, olive oil, and salt until they are evenly coated, which will infuse the tangy flavor and help with roasting.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the chickpeas out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or sprayed foil to prevent sticking.
- Bake: Roast the chickpeas in the oven for 35-40 minutes until they start to develop a golden color and begin to dry out, stirring once halfway through for even cooking.
- Dry and Crisp: Turn the oven off and leave the chickpeas inside for an additional 30-40 minutes, checking every 10-15 minutes to achieve your desired crunchiness.
- Add Dill and Final Seasoning: Transfer the roasted chickpeas to a bowl and sprinkle with dried dill weed. If the chickpeas feel too dry for the seasoning to stick, add a small amount of olive oil or pickle brine. Toss well to coat evenly. Adjust salt or dill according to taste.
- Cool Completely: Let the chickpeas cool outside of any container or bag to maintain their crunch and prevent moisture buildup that could soften them.
Notes
- Removing the skins from chickpeas is optional; skin-on chickpeas provide extra crunch and fiber, but peeling some skins off can create a lighter texture.
- Using pickle brine is key to achieving the distinct dill pickle flavor in this snack.
- Leave chickpeas to dry out in the warm oven after baking to reach the perfect crunchy texture.
- Store cooled chickpeas in an airtight container to maintain crispness, best consumed within a few days.
