Crispy Chickpea and Edamame Oven Snack

Snacking is so much fun – it’s even better when your snacks are good for you!

I don’t know about you, but when I want a snack, it’s usually something salty I want. Better yet, something salty and crispy. Enter crispy chickpea and edamame oven snacks.

These will satisfy any crunchy, salty snack craving.

I love the mixture of the edamame and the chickpeas, they play off of each other so nicely.

Did I mention how easy this recipe is? It’s super easy.

And it starts with canned chickpeas and frozen edamame.

My grocery store doesn’t carry edamame that have already been removed from their pods, so I had to remove the edamame by hand. It took a little while, but it is so worth it. However, if your grocery store does sell them already shelled (I know I have seen them before in frozen sections), then definitely get those!

So, let’s start!

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Open the cans of chickpeas, dump them into a colander, and rinse them with water for about ten seconds.

So pretty and green :)!

Lay several sheets of paper towels down on your counter and place the chickpeas and edamame on top of them. Using another paper towel, pat them dry. The dryer they are, the crispier they will be.

Dump the chickpeas and edamame onto a baking sheet, drizzle on 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 a teaspoon of pepper.

Mix everything together with your hands until the chickpeas and edamame are all evenly coated with seasoning and olive oil.

Spread the chickpeas and edamame out into an single layer so they can all get nice and crispy!

And then they are done! Yay!

These are best and crispiest when they are fresh, but they still have great flavor days later. They are perfect for a salty snack, and they are also great on top of salads!!

**Note: your cooking time may vary from mine–my oven seems to take longer than other people’s. Just make sure you are checking on your chickpeas and edamame so they don’t burn!**

    How do you store them after they are roasted?

      I just put them in a ziplock or tupperware! They don’t stay crispy, but you can always re-bake them or air fry them to crisp them up. They’re still yummy as leftovers despite losing their crisp!

    just curious, why the need to say ‘proud Christian” when doing a food blog ?
    can’t wait to try the recipe, grateful of the sharing , but offput about the religious lean

      Fair question! It is a blog about food, but it’s still a blog, on which I share basically just as much about random life stuff as I do about food! So I put a lot of my personal self into the posts. Also, the section on the sidebar where you’re seeing that is a little “about me” blip, and my faith is a super central part of my life, so I didn’t even think twice about including it. Anyway, I hope you try this recipe and love it, Mary Beth!

      Hey Suzy! When I made these I just stored them in a jar…and they seemed to be fine :). I will say, though, that when you store them, they lose most of their crispy-ness. They are best fresh out of the oven!

    After they are baked, what is you storage suggestion/timeframe to keep them?

      Hey, Cat!
      I used a mason jar with a tight lid to store mine, and we kept them around and snacked on them for maybe 3 or 4 days and they were still yummy! They definitely aren’t as crispy if you don’t eat them fresh out of the oven, but they still have great flavor.

    Any suggestions for other seasoning combinations? Salt and pepper are great but I want to get a little crazier!

      Hey Ashley!
      That’s a great question. I have seen a lot of people use curry with roasted chickpeas. It might be fun to go with Asian flavors using garlic, ginger, and onion powder! I also think cumin would be a good addition to give it a warm spice. You could add some cayenne to give it a kick…

    This looks great. Kroger sells bags of shelled edamame under their Private Selection name, but they are called mukimame when they are already shelled for you. Who knew?

    I love roasted chickpeas but have never tried roasting edamame, such an amazing idea! Have you ever tried this one with fresh edamame? I mainly see fresh ones in asian shops, do you think I should precook them for this recipe?

      Evi,
      I’ve read online that roasting them in the oven will work the same with fresh or frozen edamame, but I have only tried it with frozen. I would love to hear how it works if you try this recipe with fresh edamame! Maybe it would be even better :).

      I’m with you, I had only ever just snacked on baked chickpeas. But the combination of the two is even better!
