Ingredients

Scale

Chickpeas

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chickpeas: Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry completely using a clean towel or paper towels to ensure they roast crisply.
  2. Season Chickpeas: In a mixing bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, and black pepper until evenly coated with the seasoning.
  3. Roast Chickpeas: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  4. Bake Until Crispy: Roast the chickpeas in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, shaking the pan or stirring the chickpeas halfway through to ensure even cooking. Roast until they are golden brown and crisp.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the chickpeas from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, they will become even crispier and are ready to enjoy as a crunchy snack.

Notes

  • Patting the chickpeas dry is crucial to achieve crispiness.
  • You can customize spices to your taste, such as adding chili powder for heat or cinnamon for sweetness.
  • Store cooled roasted chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain crispiness.
  • For an extra crunch, slightly smash chickpeas before roasting.
