Zero-cook, grab-and-go snack packs loaded with 26g protein to crush afternoon slumps.
Ultra-crispy roasted chickpeas packed with plant-based fiber and savory crunch.
Ditch processed potato chips and pretzels for these savory roasted fiesta chickpeas. Naturally high in dietary fiber and plant protein, garbanzo beans roast to crunchy perfection when tossed with chili lime spices and smoked paprika. They stay crunchy all week long in airtight jars for desktop snacking or salad crouton upgrades.
Select how many meal prep containers you are packing this week:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Drain chickpeas into a colander and rinse thoroughly under cool water.
Transfer chickpeas onto clean kitchen towels. Gently roll them with hands to remove all surface moisture and discard any loose skins that slip off (bone-dry chickpeas are key to maximum crispness).
Transfer dried chickpeas onto a large rimmed sheet pan in a single even layer.
Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with taco seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and lime zest. Toss with your hands until every bean is coated.
Roast for 22 to 26 minutes, shaking the pan every 10 minutes, until chickpeas are golden brown and dry.
Turn off the oven and crack the oven door open 2 inches. Let the chickpeas rest inside the warm oven for an extra 15 minutes to finish crisping.
Cool completely before transferring into airtight glass jars or 4 snack bags.
