The most common way to eat roasted chickpeas — also known as garbanzo beans — is as a finger food. However, they are an incredibly versatile ingredient. Use them in lieu of croutons on salad, toss them with trail mix, stir them into pasta, add them to stuffing or crush them and use the crumbs as breading. One serving of roasted chickpeas is 1/2 cup. The exact nutrition for roasted, unsalted chickpeas does vary by brand; remember to check the package’s information.

The caloric content of a half-cup of roasted, unsalted chickpeas is 134 calories. That amounts to less than 7 percent of your daily consumption if you consume a standard 2,000 calories per day. Keep in mind, though, that mindlessly snacking on crunchy treats can result in your eating two or more servings in one sitting. To control calories, portion out your serving of roasted chickpeas before you begin eating.
