Sriracha Roasted Chickpeas

I just loved roasted chickpeas.  They make such a healthy snack and can be done sweet or savory as you have seen in my maple cinnamon roasted chickpeas and my smokey roasted chickpeas.  When my husband made homemade sriracha a few weeks ago, I instantly knew I wanted to try sriracha roasted chickpeas.

These don’t end up as spicy as sriracha is.  The sweetness comes through more, but with a little kick.  This healthy snack is vegan and gluten free.  Also a great alternative to those who have nut allergies. If you want a sweet version of the roasted chickpeas, you can check out this video.

Recipe Notes

Please store these in an airtight container. If you scatter some rice at the bottom of the container, it will help absorb extra moisture and keep the chickpeas from getting soft. I think they should last 4-5 days, but mine never make it that far!
