Honey Roasted Chickpeas with Sea Salt are a healthy, sweet and salty snack that is easy to make. They are high in fiber, protein-packed, gluten free, dairy free…and Adam can’t get enough of them (in other words, they’re toddler friendly too!)
Honey Roasted Chickpeas are made with only a few simple ingredients, and you most likely have everything you need already in your pantry. In fact, all you really need is one ingredient, and that’s the chickpeas. The additional ingredients are simply for flavoring, but roasted chickpeas are super crunchy and delicious straight from the oven. In this case I made them honey roasted with sea salt, however I have other variations in the works that I am excited to share with you soon!
Honey Roasted Chickpeas with Sea Salt
Yields: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 15 ounce can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ tablespoon canola oil (or other neutral tasting oil)
- sea salt, add to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Empty chickpeas into a colander. Rinse until no longer foamy and drain. Put chickpeas onto paper towels to pat dry. (Optional: remove skins from chickpeas. Not necessary, but I recommend it).
- Place chickpeas in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes, or until chickpeas are crunchy. (If they're soft, put them back in for 5 minutes until crunchy).
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk honey and oil. Add hot chickpeas and toss to coat. Pour chickpeas back on lined baking sheet and return to the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until caramelized. Sprinkle with sea salt, as desired, and let cool. Store in an airtight container.

I love roasted chickpeas and make them almost every week. I tend to prefer mine more savory with curry or garlic but they’re all delicious.
Great recipe, they sound delicious 🙂

Silly question. Do they have to be canned or can I use dry chick peas that have been soaked overnight? Thanks.
Good question. You can use dry beans instead of canned, but they will need to be cooked.
