What prompted me to make these?
A few months back, I was at Costco and they had a product similar to these Chili Lime Roasted Chickpeas. I’m not sure if they still sell them anymore, so I decided to make them for myself.
Let the experiment begin.
I planned on using them for tacos as the plant-based protein option BUT I ate most of them as a snack instead of on tacos because they are that good.
This is a very budget-friendly recipe. Canned chickpeas are cheap and if you keep a decent spice collection, you might have every spice you need to make this recipe.
Recipe tip
Now, this isn’t necessary BUT I think you’ll have a better success rate with these chili lime roasted chickpeas if you peel off the skins. So first, strain and dry the chickpeas on a towel. Let dry for a few minutes. Once dry, start to peel the “skin” off of the chickpeas. There is a picture above for reference. Peeling the skin off will help the chickpeas become crispier when baking.
