Ingredients
- 15 oz Canned chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Open and drain the canned chickpeas. Rinse them under cold water and gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Removing as much moisture as possible will help them crisp up nicely.
Step 3
Place the dried chickpeas in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure all chickpeas are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Step 4
Spread the chickpeas out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not too crowded to allow even crisping.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes. Shake the pan or stir the chickpeas halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
The chickpeas are done when they are golden and crispy. They may seem slightly soft right out of the oven but will continue to crisp as they cool.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a bowl or storing them in an airtight container.
Step 8
Enjoy as a snack, or use as a crunchy topping for salads and soups.
