Easy Roasted Chickpea Recipe
As you can imagine from reading “The Adventures of Veggieman” and learning about his trusted companion, Ms. Chickpea, we are big fans of this flavorful, plant-based legume.
They contain a wide range of vitamins such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin K and minerals such as selenium, choline, iron, folate, and zinc, to name a few. They are also rich in fiber, provide a great source of plant protein, and make for a great portable snack.
While we enjoy eating them in salads, soups, and of course hummus, they are also deliciously roasted. Below, we’re sharing a very easy (and fun!) Roasted Chickpea recipe that you and your kids can make tonight. Enjoy and happy, healthy eating!
1 16oz. organic chickpeas or 2 cups of raw chickpeas, soak them overnight, cook, and pat dry
Drizzle of olive oil
Pinch of sea salt and pepper
2 tablespoons of sesame seeds
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
Rinse the chickpeas and pat them dry.
Layout the chickpeas on a piece of parchment paper on a baking tray.
Sprinkle a drizzle of olive oil over the chickpeas.
Sprinkle a pinch or so of sea salt and pepper over the chickpeas.

When out of the oven, toss them in a bowl. Add in some sesame seeds and enjoy!
