Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 15 oz canned chickpeas drained, rinsed, and thoroughly dried
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • medium bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the drained and thoroughly dried chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper, ensuring they are well-coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.
  4. Roast for 20-30 minutes, or until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Serving
  1. Allow the crispy chickpeas to cool slightly before serving as a snack or adding them to salads and soups.

Notes

For extra crispiness, ensure the chickpeas are very dry before seasoning. You can pat them with a paper towel or let them air dry for a bit. Feel free to experiment with other spices like chili powder or onion powder for different flavor profiles.
