Hello friends!
My revived Salt & Vinegar obsession lives on! I am so excited to tell you about this next recipe tonight. Unfortunately, it is not a clue for my overseas trip in September (didn’t have time to make it), but it is a great recipe regardless.
Easy Salt & Vinegar Roasted Chickpeas
Adapted from Homemade Salt & vinegar Chips and Green Beans.
Ingredients:
- 1.5-2 cups cooked chickpeas (one 15-oz can), drained and rinsed*
- 2.5-4 cups white vinegar
- 1/2-1 tsp fine grain sea salt, to taste
- 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
1. Line a baking sheet with tin foil or parchment paper.
2. Add chickpeas into pot and cover with vinegar. Add a dash of sea salt. Open a window and turn on range hood fan to air out the soon-to-be potent vinegar smell. <– you were warned!
3. Bring to a boil and then remove from heat. Let sit in pot for 15-20 minutes, uncovered.
4. Preheat oven to 400F. Carefully drain chickpeas in a strainer and discard vinegar. Place chickpeas on lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and sea salt. Massage with fingers until fully coated.
5. Roast for 25-35 minutes, stirring once half way through. Keep a careful eye on them after 20 minutes of cooking to ensure they don’t burn. Enjoy as a high protein snack or as a side to a lunch or dinner. Cool on pan for 5 minutes. They will crisp up as they cool.
*Note: I assume you could also use dry chickpeas and cook them in vinegar from scratch. Also note: When I brought the cooked chickpeas to a boil, some of the peas split open and some of the skins came off. Not to worry if this happens-it will turn out regardless!
I loved these! The salt & vinegar taste was amazing and really came through.

Crunchy, crispy. Divine.
High in protein to boot!
In the OSG recipe vault!
I had the S & V chickpeas along with some BBQ’d veggies…
So much green! Eric used his olive oil + S & P + wrap in tin foil BBQ trick again.
Food baby ensued. ;)
Operation Beautiful Book Release
Caitlin’s long-awaited Operation Beautiful book is officially released today in stores! Caitlin will also be on The Today Show this Thursday at 8:30am. Be sure to tune in if you can.
This Friday, I will be the last stop on Caitlin’s Virtual Book Tour.
I will be talking about a body-image topic that is very near and dear to my heart: Happy Weights. How do we come to terms with where our bodies are happiest? How do we know when we are there? How do we learn to love our body the way it was meant to be? How do we stop fighting against our Happy Weight? I have LOTS to say about this topic!
I will be talking about all of these questions on Friday, so stay tuned for a fun discussion and book giveaway!
I have more work to take care of tonight. I’m hoping to end the evening with our favourite new show- Lie To Me! Eric and I are HOOKED. We are only 3 episodes from being caught up to this current season. It is basically my ideal show- psychology research + gripping plots + great cast. We can’t get enough! It gets better with each episode.
Oh, I just realized I forgot to give you a clue for where I am going in September…
Au revoir, chick P!
Oh my goodness, Angela! These are incredible. I’m going to make them for dinner tomorrow, mark my words. I can’t wait. :)
Also, I love Lie To Me! It’s so great. I’m a huge psychology/human mind nut, so I find it fascinating.
You’re going to France?! You lucky girl! :) I went to Paris last year on my honeymoon, and it was a BLAST! We went at the beginning of October, and the weather was really nice– not too hot, not too cold! Perfect for long strolls through the city!! I bet September will be just as great!
So exciting that your Glo Bars are doing so well!! They always look delish!
France or Quebec? I’m guessing probably not Haiti or Senegal as they are less popular tourist options…
I love salt and vinegar and you are definitely inspiring me to make some salt and vinegar veggies very soon!
I haven’t had chickpeas in a while, so I think next time I have them would be the perfect time to try them roasted! Yummmy :D btw, I can’t wait for your post on Friday! I was so excited when I saw you on Caitlin’s list!
Wei Wei
PS: FRANCE?!
You’re going to France!?
Congrats on the Ambrosia success!!! How exciting is that?!?!
I NEED to make those chickpeas ASAP!! They would be perfect on top of my lunch time salads for a little staying power.
Ooohhh, is it France?? I can’t wait to find out!! And live vicariously through you lol.
Salt and vinegar anything is addicting to me :)
Chick P?? Paris, by any chance? Gorgeous city, would love to go back!
S&V chickpeas sounds intriguing… and a little addicting!
hmmm S&V chickp’s looks good! paris is amazing i did 4 days there with my sister a few years ago, gorgeous food!!
Are you coming over to my home country France? Just so you know, Brussels is not even an hour and a half from Paris by train *hint hint* ;-)
LOVE chickpeas! And I’m going on a road trip tomorrow– perfect snack for the car! Thank you!
Congrats on the great sales at Ambrosia!
I’m definitely going to be trying out that chickpea salt and vinegar recipe! It seems so easy and sounds like it would be delish!
mmmm..these chickpeas look great. I have not had roasted chickpeas yet but have been super eager to try them. :)
OMG…. I am going to the grocery store today SPECIFICALLY to purchase a can of chickpeas!! They look so good!!
Did you get a copy of the book? I checked the Chapters/Indigo website and it said the book isn’t in stores here until August 10! :(
Oh Paris, je t’aime :)
France- you’re lucky! I went there for the first time earlier in the summer… on a layover en route to Budapest! So I didn’t really get to see anything. I’d love to go back :-)
I’ve been wanting to try roasted chickpeas! Those look delish.
Oh, I’m so jealous! I loved France when I went and I would so love to go back. Conveniently, I fold up pretty nicely into a suitcase. In case you, um, wanted a third wheel. :)
Those chickpeas sound really good, too. I love vinegar so I can’t wait to make these. It sounds like the perfect combination.
I’m excited for your “happy weight” post – I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately!
I love roasted chickpeas something’ fierce! Also grilled broccoli!
I have some cooked chickpeas in the fridge that need roastin’…
