Hot Wing–Spiced Chickpeas Recipe

Garbanzos don’t need to be relegated to three-bean salad alone—when roasted, they turn into a crispy, protein-packed snack. Make a batch for movie night as a popcorn alternative, or have a few anytime you’re craving some crunch.

4 (10-ounce) pouches chickpeas, rinsed and drained

2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In large bowl, stir together ghee, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Pat chickpeas dry and discard loose skins, then transfer to bowl and toss in ghee mixture.
