Chickpeas are lightly tossed with truffle salt and roasted to create a crispy, addictive and guilt-free salty snack.
Crispy Baked Chickpeas with Truffle Salt - The Lemon BowlAs you’ve probably gathered by now, I have a major salty tooth. I will take a cheese platter over a tray of cupcakes any day of the week! When it comes to healthy snacking, these Crispy Baked Chickpeas with Truffle Salt are the ideal balance of satisfying crunch and protein-packed nutrition.

Rinsed Chickpeas - The Lemon BowlThe key to making these baked chickpeas as crispy as possible is to pat them dry with paper towel once you’ve rinsed off the canning liquid. Not only does this process remove unnecessary sodium but it ensures optimal crunch faction at the end. If you’re feeling ambitious, you are welcome to pop the skin off the chickpeas but I am a huge fan of leaving it on for added fiber.

Truffle salt can be found at most specialty food stores, spice shops or online. While it is a bit pricey, a little goes a long way thanks to the deep, nutty flavor of the truffle mushrooms. These are great for stashing in the car, bringing to work for a mid-day snack or keeping in your gym bag for post-workout fuel. They will stay fresh in an airtight container for several days but they are most crunchy right out of the oven.

    I am like you – I always choose savory over sweet, especially salty and crunchy! Plus, I think anything is better with truffle salt! Have you tried adding a bit of truffle salt to ground meat and making burgers? it’s unbelievable!

    WOW!! With the temps you have and the pile of snow to boot I hate to say what we have. Right now about 2 inches of snow and it is up to 37 degrees. First time in 2 days though it has been this warm. We are not getting sunshine too. We have had more snow in years past but this is the most we have had in a couple years.

      YES!! You must get some truffle salt. It lasts a really long time because it’s pretty strong so I really don’t think of it as a pricey ingredient. Also try it on eggs and popcorn and thank me later. ;)

    I want to try crunchy chickpeas but I won’t lie I’m a little nervous! I can’t get the bean texture out of my head … are the super crunchy and hard or do they still have some bean texture?

      They turn totally crunchy and hard like a corn nut almost!! Not bean-like at all, promise!
