A crunchy, protein-packed snack made with chickpeas and edamame, roasted with savory spices. Perfect for healthy snacking without sacrificing flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 ½ cups frozen shelled edamame, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the chickpeas: drain, rinse, and dry them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel, removing any loose skins.
  3. Thaw and dry the edamame: run under cool water, then pat very dry with a towel.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine chickpeas, edamame, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne (if using), salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast (if using). Toss until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Do not overcrowd.
  6. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through at the 10-minute mark, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Let cool completely on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes (they will continue to crisp).
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

Dry chickpeas and edamame thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Stir halfway through roasting for even browning. Let cool completely before storing to maintain crunch. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Re-crisp in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes if needed.
