These Crispy Truffle Roasted Chickpeas are an addictive snack that is high in protein and fiber. Â Great for an evening snack instead of popcorn.
Ohhhh noooo, I have discovered the ultimate addictive snack, you guys. Â I am a really big fan of popcorn in the evening, especially my most recent obsession – truffle popcorn. Â I have been trying to avoid eating too much popcorn lately, though, and that is when I discovered crispy oven roasted chickpeas. Â Have you ever tried them?
Chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans) are legumes that are high in protein and fiber. Â When roasted in the oven they become crispy and are perfect for snacking. Â Be careful because they are hard to stop eating – you might end up eating the whole pan!
Of course when I decided to make my crispy roasted chickpeas I had to fancy them up just a little by making them truffled chickpeas.  Just a little truffle oil and truffle salt elevates this snack to the next level!  Trust me, when I was taking the photos for this post I had to excercise some serious restraint to stop from popping them into my mouth one after another.  Of course, all bets were off when I finished my photoshoot.
Crispy Truffle Roasted Chickpeas
Ingredients
- 1 can 15.5 ounces or 2 cups  chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon truffle oil
- 1/4 teaspoon truffle salt or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F degrees
- After rinsing and draining the chickpeas, dry them well by spreading out on a paper towel, cover with another paper towel and gently roll them around to dry them, being careful not to squish them. Â They will get crispier if they are dry first.
- Transfer chickpeas to a baking sheet, pour the olive oil, truffle oil and truffle salt over chickpeas and toss to fully coat them in the oil and salt.
- Roast for 20-30 minutes. Â After about 10 minutes, shake the pan to turn the chickpeas so that they brown more evenly. Â Remove from oven when they are golden brown and crispy. Â After removing from oven, season with more truffle salt if desired (season to your personal taste).
- These are best served hot and fresh as they will not remain as crispy after cooling!

I am so stoked to try these – I need a new nighttime snack because I’ve been binging on yogurt every night! Which can be good for you but sometimes I need a little salty instead of sweet 😉

I hope you do try them Clarissa, they are such a great evening snack!
If you put a bowl of these in front of me all self control would be out the window. My mum used to make something simillar but they were super spicy. I love the idea of using truffle NOM
I have zero self control around these! Thanks Ruby!
Oven roasted chickpeas are always a good idea. I hardly make them anymore because of their addictive nature, but I MUST break my rule for these. I mean. Truffles, can’t say no.
I have eaten lots of roasted chickpeas just seasoned with salt and maybe a bit of chilli powder in India.. It is basically a street snack. But never thought of making them at home! Thanks for the recipe. Will surely try these. I am convinced though that they will disappear in no time.
