Ingredients
Scale
2 cans (15 ounces each) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chickpeas completely dry with a paper towel. This is key for crispiness!
In a medium bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil, paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast for 20-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy.
Let them cool slightly before enjoying.
Notes
For extra crispiness, you can remove the skins from the chickpeas before roasting.
Adjust the cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level.
These are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
