I remember back in the days when I was a vegetarian, I would eat chickpeas all the time. I would eat chickpea salad wraps for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Going out to the store, I would but a huge, overloaded bag of chickpeas that could feed an army and then some. But for some reason, after I started eating meat, I stopped my whole chickpea craze.
Well people, it’s coming back!
I have been seeing recipe after recipe for roasted chickpeas that made me drool. I needed to make some of my own! That is when I saw a recipe for Salt and Vinegar Roasted Chickpeas that I thought: This is the one.
And it really was the one. This batch barely lasted 15 minutes in my house, it was so good. I needed to swat people away with my spatula so that I can take these pictures.
So if you’re craving some salt and vinegar chips (like I do 89% of the day) but want something healthier, here’s your solution!
This past week, I have made this recipe 4 times, and every time John has finished it in under 30 minutes.
I have found a new go-to snack idea. And it is so much healthier than my regular bag of chips!

I love chickpeas! I can eat them just plain, every day.
this is the ultimate low caloric,inviting and protein rich snack we can have…..thanks so much for this easy and delicious idea 🙂
These look fantastic, and I love the clean ingredient list! Thanks for the great recipe.
I've never gone off chickpeas so these sound excellent – when I was little my favourite crisps were salt and vinegar but I rarely have them now – this might be just the trip down memory late I need – and a spatula to swat away those who want to eat them all 🙂
Those chickpeas sound seriously good!
I love chickpeas as well ! haven't tried any homemade ones though 😛 Those look really appetizing !
These are a must try!!
Ah i loves me some roasted chick peas! Never thought of doing a salt and vinegar version but what a great idea! No wonder they disappeared so fast!

OMGosh, this recipe sounds good! My mouth is tingling just thing of the salt and vinegar flavors! Perfect for snacking or as a tasty side dish.
Such a great healthy snack 🙂
This recipe reminds me that I have a LOT of raw chickpeas in the kitchen, and I need to do something about it. Well, I should print the recipe and get to cooking ASAP then! 🙂
Do it!! 😉
I’ve never had or seen this snack before but I love chickpeas so I’ll try the recipe!
You do! It is so good 🙂
I usually roast my chickpeas with plenty of spices. This minimalist version is surprisingly delicious. Now I will be able to make delicious chickpeas snack even when my pantry is low on ingredients.
Yes! So good with what you have on hand 🙂
do you reuse the drained vinegar? seems like a lot of waste to throw it out
You can definitely pour it into a container and use it again!
