Roasted Salt & Vinegar Chickpeas
Healthy, tasty and simple snacks are clearly a win with me (protein bars, muffins, energy bars) because they’re so portable! But this particular snack is one of my favorites! These salt and vinegar chickpeas make the perfect snack to take along hiking or camping.
Chickpeas are an amazing snack because they’re so full of fiber. This not only helps you stay full but can also help regulate blood sugar and improve digestion. They also make a not bad plant based protein source for any vegetarians.
I personally love roasted chickpeas because they’re crunchy and thus easy to munch on. They have decent levels of iron, folate and zinc which most people tend not to get enough of.
These particular roasted chickpeas tend to be a bit addicting though because f their flavor. Salt and vinegar is a classic and while tangy, makes it so you literally cannot eat just one!
Ingredients In Roasted Chickpeas
- 5 cups cooked chickpeas

I am so picky with my food, but these actually look and sound delicious. You have me convinced! Lol. Great read. Thanks for sharing!
I hope you enjoy it!
I love how versatile chickpeas are. I’ll have to try your recipe. I’ve fried them before and tossed them with chopped fresh herbs, salt and pepper, but this sounds healthier!
Mmm I haven’t really fried them so I’ll have to try that!
Interesing I might have to give this a try. never been a fan of chickpeas but you make them sound delish
Thanks Mel! I love them because it’s similar to popcorn to me which I can devour lol
Thumbs up for healthy snacking…always!!
I also add some fruits like apple, pear, pomegranate etc to my chickpeas to make it healthier 🙂
I’m obsessed with chickpeas- honestly they go with everything!
These sound great but mine always turn out mushy.
I’ve had that problem before too- super frustrating. My two tips on that are to first dry them after you rinse/cook the chickpeas and also to turn them more int he oven. Meaning, move the ones on the outside of the pan to the inside and vice versa.. a lot lol
I LOVE roasted chickpeas, but I’ve never done em with vinegar. I’ll have to try this–YUM! Have you ever had them with apple cider vinegar??
They’re rather addictive! Hrm.. I actually haven’t tried them with ACV but I do love it- that might be my next attempt!
