Ingredients
Scale

- 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!

- Roast for 20-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy.

Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can remove the skins from the chickpeas before roasting.
