Thank you so much Karen for requesting this recipe!! They turned out really yummy and were the perfect little snack! She sent me this recipe from a Weight Watchers cookbook and, after seeing all the ingredients, knew I'd love this. They remind me of honey roasted peanuts except with a kick of cayenne pepper and chili powder for spice. You can cook them for 10 to 20 minutes if you want them a bit mushy inside or around 35 minutes like I did if you like them crunchy! Perfect to throw in a dish for an upcoming party or when you have company over and you save a ton of calories from traditional salty peanuts! Feel free to try and type of seasoning or spice you like, you really can't go wrong. Hope you enjoy them!

mmm.. looks good - I want to try this
so you used precooked chickpeas/garbanzo?
Yep garbanzo chickpeas right from the can :)
I could eat a full bowl of these! I love chickpeas - What a great snack!
These look great!
Yum chickpeas! This sounds like a delicious snack. When it comes to chickpeas, I can eat them like candy. Good thing they are a lot better for you!
What a great way to prepare chickpeas! I know from experience that they can either be super bland and hard to swallow or the tastiest source of organic protein known to humankind. It looks like you hit on the later!
Yum! I bet these would be great turned into hummus too!

Such a good idea! I love chickpeas but only ever turn them into hummus!
Aww Jessica thank you SOO much!! That is incredibly sweet of you :)
Cassie and Hanna, I definitely want to try and make hummus soon, it's one of my favorites!
Oh, what a good idea! I never roasted chickpeas and like these ingredients. Nice snack!
Looks like a delicious dish! love chickpeas:) Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for visiting. I have boiled up chickpeas in the fridge so I will give this a shot. I've seen it in my Mark Bittman and have always meant to try it, now that you've posted it's about time. (Especially as it looks SO easy).
How can there be two carbs and five grams of fiber?
YUM! These are GREAT with taco seasoning and BBQ spice rub on them, too!! SO yummy! Or even plain with some garlic salt.
Such a good snack!
Finally gave this recipe a try today. Surprisingly crispy!! I really want to add honey/sugar to make them honey roasted, but that'll just pack on the cals!
TOTALLY making this!!!
Such a great healthy snack!!! MMM
Hi Kelly - I've posted a link to your recipe as a resource for my readers. I'm a big fan of roasted chickpeas. Love the crunch!
Toss these roasted chickpeas with some spinach, olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Oh my! I also add a little bit of garlic salt.
Can you leave these in a container to store, or do they have to go in the fridge? Do you have to eat them all right away or do they stay for a while? Chickpea newbie here! :)
Are Theese points based on the new or old system of ww ?
I have also done these with just a sprinkle of brown sugar substitute and cinnamon. Gives that sweet snack that we need sometimes. Yummm
Just made these and they are great!! I have never had chickpeas, all I had was chili powder and crushed red pepper but they had a nice bite to them :) Thanks
Hello - are you sure about the carbs? seems like the carb level on the can is much higher. For instance there is a recipe from the food network where the carb level is 24G. Just curious
