You know what’s extremely essential for everyday life? SNACKS. There’s absolutely nothing that makes me happier than a 3pm nourishing snack that kicks hunger’s booty goodbye.
I love wandering into the kitchen for cup of coffee with a little almond milk, and a favorite snack. Most of the time I’m a sweet girl, but give me something a little crunchy, salty and crispy and I will bow down to the snack gods.
When Colman’s Mustard asked me to create a hot new recipe for you, this was the first one that came to my mind because I know how much you also appreciate a good snack. Many of you have asked me what to take on hikes, or a healthy option to nosh on at work and this is it. WE HAVIN’ A HOT SNACK PARTY. So who’s ready to #hotmessaround?
Today’s recipe is anything but fancy. It’s simple to make and toss together with your hands, then roast in the oven for a fantastic crispy afternoon snack you can bring anywhere. So, why don’t you guys say hi to my HOMEMADE ROASTED CHICKPEAS.
HI CHICKPEAS.
They’re cute. They’re spicy thanks to Colman’s Mustard & a hint of cayenne pepper. They’re freaking easy to make. And they most definitely belong on your afternoon snack radar.
One more reason I LOVE this snack? It’s made with inexpensive ingredients.
Chickpeas: you can buy them for less than $1.00 at most places — whoo hoo!
Colman’s Mustard: keeps them flavorful & will last a long time in your pantry. Plus, you can also save on them right now by visiting bit.ly/ColmansAK
Cayenne Pepper: Adds a kick and is a must-have pantry staple spice
Olive oil: We’ve all got a little EVOO in our cupboard
Salt: because we needs a little salty goodness during snack time and that’s also a staple so I’m winning at life right now
Hope you guys love this recipe as much as I did. If you make this be sure to let me know by tagging #ambitiouskitchen on Instagram or by leaving a comment below. xo!

Can you tell me the shelf life of these? I would love to be able to make a huge batch.
They should last about 4-5 days at room temp! I recommend storing them loosely covered.
Can these be made with regular (not dry) mustard?
I haven’t tried it, sorry!
I saw how to make roasted chickpeas on another website, but quickly searched for a recipe to actually try on AMBITIOUS KITCHEN. Why? I’ve come to TRUST your recipes! I’ll just say always addicting and with nutrition in mind! THANK YOU, My daughter and I looked like couple of chipmunks eating these!
So happy to hear that, Jill! I always make my recipe delicious first 🙂 glad you two love these!
Very Tasty
Glad you enjoyed!
Love this chickpea recipe for a delicious snack.
For some reason after making the recipe, I did not end up with 6 (1/2 cup) servings. I followed the instructions perfectly. Did this happen to anyone else?
Strange! What brand of chickpeas did you use? 1 can of chickpeas should have about 1 1/2 cups of chickpeas, so using 2 cans should get you about 6, 1/2 cup servings.
We were looking for some healthy snacks, and I have an embarrassing amount of dried beans in the pantry. I made this recipe this afternoon, with the Coleman’s Dry Mustard – it was so good. I did make a couple of small adjustments. I baked them for the 20 minutes, stirred and then turned on the convection for about 12 minutes at 400. I laid them on paper-towel lined rack to let them drain any excess olive oil or moisture (I had to hydrate them overnight). And then I gave them an extra sprinkle of sea salt for that extra addictive love. They are perfect. I am loving your blog and site. I’ll be making the protein bikes, I mean bites, here after dinner for our long-ride cycling treats.
Amazing! Glad you loved them, and perfect way to use up dried beans. So happy to hear you’re loving the recipes here (love those protein bites post-workout, too!)
What are the nutritional counts for this snack?
Updated!
How do I make roasted chickpeas so that they are crisp and stay crisp for a few days?
I’d suggest roasting them with the skins off, and then I’ve heard that storing them in a paper bag (rather than an airtight container) helps keep them crispy!
The cook time says 20 mins in one spot and 20 mins., stir and bake another 18-25 mins. in another. Which is best?
Hi Robyn! Thank you for the catch – just follow the written instructions and I will edit in the cook time 🙂
Made these for the second time tonight…yum, yum.
Amazing!!
I have soooooo been into crispy chickpeas lately! Love the addition of the mustard flavor!
It’s such a great flavor!
This looks amazing! I will definately give it a try!
I hope I will manage as I am not a great cook!
Love your blog! Thanks for sharing <3

What is the best way to store these? Will they stay crispy?
Hi Kelley! I’ve found the best way to store these is in a brown paper bag so that moisture doesn’t collect.
Do yoj have a nutrition info?
Yum these look delicious! I was definitely the girl who ate the Honey Mustard gardettos pretzels like they were my job back in the day. Can’t wait to try these!
