Clean Eating Roasted Curried Chickpeas Recipe

I first made Clean Eating Roasted Chickpeas back in 2011. I loved them, but struggled with getting the texture right. They seemed to be quite chewy in subsequent batches and I couldn’t figure out what I had done right the first time, but wrong in every batch thereafter.
I’m now of the opinion that the first time was just a fluke. I’m also of the opinion that I have finally figured it out. I had the temperature too high and wasn’t baking long enough. These days, I get them right every time and man are they delicious! I mean, what a great grab-n-go snack for busy folks!
I made this particular recipe for you guys and then ran the entire batch over to a friend. She loved them and munched on them all day at work. I’m thinking that jars of these in different flavors could make a really awesome and affordable special occasion or holiday gifts for the clean eaters in your life. Pack them in some pretty mason jars and tie a bow around the tops. It would make a beautiful presentation!

I love this recipe!!! The original recipe that I first read of yours and I was hooked!!! Loved that you have updated it!!! I must try them again because I was the same way struggled to get them right every time. Thank you!!
Holly – My pleasure! I hope you enjoy this version! 😀
I’ve been meaning to try roasted chickpeas, and I think this recipe would be the perfect one to try out!
Sometimes I need a crunchy snack and these would be a great choice!
I need to try making these again. I made them once, but I got distracted with other things and burned them. I like the idea of a healthy crunchy snack.
