These healthy crispy chickpea chips are a quick and easy homemade snack made with simple pantry staples, offering a crunchy, flavorful, and nourishing treat that’s naturally gluten-free and vegan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) chickpea flour (gram flour or besan)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) cold water
  • ½ teaspoon salt (sea salt preferred)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of black pepper (freshly ground)
  • ¼ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, salt, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and chili flakes if using.
  3. Add olive oil and gradually pour in cold water, stirring constantly until a firm but pliable dough forms. Adjust flour or water as needed.
  4. Dust your work surface lightly with chickpea flour. Roll out the dough as thin as possible, about 1/8 inch (3mm) thick.
  5. Cut the dough into small triangles or squares about 2 inches (5cm) each side using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  6. Arrange the cut pieces flat on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through baking. Watch closely towards the end for a golden brown color and crispy texture.
  8. Remove from oven and let chips cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to avoid sogginess.

Notes

Roll the dough as thin as possible for crispy chips. Flip chips halfway through baking for even crispiness. Use fresh chickpea flour for best flavor. Store cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Re-crisp in oven if chips soften. Optional variations include adding dried herbs, nutritional yeast, or swapping spices.
