These crispy pan fried chickpeas are the best healthy snack for you! Super addictive, protein loaded and really easy to make.

Forget chips and veggie straws, crispy chickpeas are soooo much better! And healthy too. If you’re looking for a light snack, you should really give them a try.

Crispy Pan Fried Chickpeas

These crispy pan roasted chickpeas are incredibly easy to make and you can add your favorite spice mix. You can always choose any of these savory spice blends or you can opt for a sweeter option too.

Best part is you don’t have to worry about another deep fried snack. You can pan fried them or roast them in the oven. I have tried both methods and the pan fried ones were the absolute winner! I was not that happy with how they came out of the oven, not as crispy as the pan fried ones.

You can serve these crispy chickpeas as a snack or as an appetizer. The combination of flavors can be endless…you choose which one is your favorite!
