Introduction
Get ready for a snack attack, friends! Every so often there comes along a snack that’s insanely delicious, wildly addictive, and to throw it over the edge, healthy. Enter Miso Roasted Chickpeas. Also known as, my new favorite snack.
Miso Roasted Chickpeas
While these are the best snack to enter my life in a long, long time, Roasted Chickpeas are no one trick pony. Throw a small handful on top of a bowl of soup – they work especially well with this spiced lentil soup, this sweet potato number, and this creamy tomato soup.
Roasted Chickpeas, or garbanzo beans if you prefer, are nothing new. This crunchy snack food has been gaining popularity for some time. But, as often happens with most trends, I’m late to the game. That’s ok, though. Better late than never.
Making the Perfect Roasted Chickpeas
One of the first crucial steps in making these chickpeas, after draining and rinsing them, is getting them totally dry. This step ensures crispy chickpeas. Remove the skins for an even crispier result.
Miso paste adds depth of flavor and a savory, umami taste to the dish. It can be found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store, near tofu, meat alternative products, or Asian ingredients. The recipe uses one can of chickpeas, but it can be easily doubled or tripled.
Recipe: Miso Roasted Chickpeas
- 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon miso paste
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a large baking sheet with a silicon mat or parchment paper.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Then spread them out over a couple paper towels. Use another paper towel to pat them completely dry and remove loose skins.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil and miso paste. Add the chickpeas and mix well to coat them evenly. Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the baking sheet and top with sea salt.
- Place the baking sheet in the middle rack of the oven and cook for 15 minutes. Move the chickpeas around and cook for another 15 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chickpeas cool completely.
Enjoy!
