Why You Will Love This Recipe

Pickles are a recent obsession of mine.  I did not like them growing up but I now love anything full of vinegar or salt. 

And this crunchy snack is a tribute to pickle lovers!

Full of tangy and salty flavors in a crisp and healthy appetizer.

Dill Pickle Roasted Chickpeas are gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, and dairy free.

Ingredients

This is what you nee to make these roasted chickpeas:

Garbanzo Beans (Chickpeas)

Pickle Brine (from a pickle jar)

Salt

Oil

Dried Dill Weed

This recipe uses dill weed, which is the dried version of the dill leaves that you would get in the herb section.  There is also dill seed, which is a larger crunchy seed with a slightly different flavor. 

Either could work (the seeds would be really crunchy) but I recommend using the dill weed. 

Instruction Overview

To make Dill Pickle Roasted Chickpeas, first drain and rinse two cans of garbanzo beans. 

Then dry them off and toss them in a small bowl with some pickle brine, olive oil, and salt. 

Roast them in the oven at 350F for 35-40 minutes and then let them sit in the hot oven, heat off, for a while longer to continue drying out. 

If you like them extra crunchy, you can roast them at 400F for 30 minutes just watch them closely as they are more likely to burn! 

When ready, toss the beans with the seasonings.  Find more of our roasted chickpea recipes here!

Kim’s Tips

Chickpeas are also called garbanzo beans, which is what I called them growing up. Most commonly, I see and hear “garbanzo beans” and have never seen a can that says “chickpeas” but we will stick with the “chickpea” naming in this recipe as that is how roasted chickpeas are known.

FAQs

Can I use dried chickpeas/garbanzo beans?

I have not personally tried these with dried beans, but yes, you can.  However!  You need to cook them first. 
Do NOT make these with still-dried beans, they will be incredibly hard.  You will need to soak the dried beans overnight and cook them before proceeding with the instructions below.

Equipment

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Place them between two clean towels or paper towels and gently pat dry, removing as much moisture as you can.
    (If you want to remove the skins, press more firmly to peel many of them off. Leaving the skin on will provide a little extra crunch and fiber – this is a preference decision).
    30 ounces garbanzo beans
  • Toss the dried chickpeas with the pickle brine, olive oil, and salt.
    2 Tablespoons pickle brine, 1 Tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Spread the chickpeas out on a silicon baking mat lined baking sheet (or spray tin foil with cooking spray).
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes until the beans are starting to take on a little color and get dry.
  • Turn off the oven and leave the beans in the oven to continue drying out to your desired crunchiness, checking every 10-15 minutes. (I like mine crunchy and leave them in for 30-40 minutes post-baking).
  • Put the cooked chickpeas in a small bowl. Add the dried dill weed.
    If the beans are dry, add just a touch of oil or pickle brine for the dill to stick.
    Toss to coat. Adjust seasoning as desired with additional salt or dill as desired. Let cool outside of a container or bag as any trapped heat will soften the beans again.
    1 teaspoon dried dill weed

Notes

If you want the chickpeas extra crunchy, you can cook them at 400F for 30 minutes instead of 350F for 35-40 minutes but watch them closely as they can start to over-darken!
Dill weed is dried dill leaves, different from dill seed.  While dill seed will work, it is crunchier and larger with a slightly different flavor.  Fresh dill also works, simply finely chop the dill and increase the amount to 2 teaspoons.

    • Hello,

      That is for the entire batch. And it likely includes the brine of the chickpeas in the calculation, which is not used.
