The creator of this recipe, a health-conscious mother with histamine intolerance, wanted a satisfying, crunchy snack for family gatherings that wouldn't trigger her allergy. After some experiments, she created this Crispy Roasted Chickpea recipe, and it has since become a hit not just with her family, but also amongst her friends and relatives at potluck dinners.
Chickpeas, being low in histamines, serve as the star of this appetizer. The use of anti-inflammatory spices and herbs alongside olive oil further ensures the dish keeps histamine levels in check. Not including high histamine ingredients and processing methods makes this appetizer perfect for those trying to maintain low histamine levels.

Dry your chickpeas thoroughly after rinsing to ensure they get crunchy. You can even leave them out for a few hours to dry, or lightly pat them dry with a clean tea towel.
Spread the chickpeas out in a single layer on your baking sheet. This allows for even roasting and the ideal crunch.
Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking. If you prefer less heat, you can cut back on the paprika.
Monitor your chickpeas towards the end of their baking time to ensure they aren’t burning. Different ovens might require slightly different baking times.
Store leftover roasted chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature. They will remain crispy for several days.
Remember that everyone's tolerance to histamine can be different, so it's important to pay attention to your body and adjust your diet accordingly. Always discuss dietary changes with a healthcare professional.
