Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the chickpeas very dry using a kitchen towel or paper towels. Remove any loose skins for extra crispiness.
- In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 25–35 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Let cool slightly before serving. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Notes
- For best results, let chickpeas air dry for 10–15 minutes after rinsing.
- Store leftovers in an open container at room temperature to maintain crispiness.
- Experiment with other seasonings like curry powder, chili powder, or nutritional yeast.
