How to Make Chickpea Popcorn

Chickpea Popcorn, an easy healthy snack

Chickpea popcorn is a healthy and delicious snack that is perfect for any occasion. It is made by roasting chickpeas in the oven until they are crispy and crunchy. Chickpea popcorn is a great alternative to traditional popcorn, as it is high in protein and fiber and low in calories.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup dried chickpeas
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Rinse and drain chickpeas.
  3. Toss chickpeas with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  4. Spread chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until chickpeas are crispy and golden brown.
  6. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful snack, add your favorite seasonings to the chickpeas before roasting.
  • To prevent the chickpeas from sticking to the baking sheet, line it with parchment paper.
  • Keep an eye on the chickpeas while they are roasting, as they can burn easily.
  • Chickpea popcorn can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Enjoy!

Here are some additional tips for making the best chickpea popcorn:

  • Use high-quality chickpeas. Canned chickpeas will work, but dried chickpeas will give you the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the chickpeas are completely dry before roasting. This will help prevent them from sticking to the baking sheet and becoming soggy.
  • Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. If you put too many chickpeas on the sheet, they won’t have enough room to cook evenly.
  • Roast the chickpeas until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 30-35 minutes, but keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.
  • Season the chickpeas to your liking. You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or any other seasonings you like.
  • Enjoy! Chickpea popcorn is a delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

Don’t get bored try things like chilli and lime, or salt and pepper style flavourings for lots of fun times.
