Ingredients
- 15 oz Canned chickpeas
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water. Using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, pat the chickpeas dry to remove as much moisture as possible. This is key for achieving a crispy texture.
Step 3
Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to help dry them out.
Step 4
While the chickpeas are precooking, in a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
After 15 minutes, remove the chickpeas from the oven and drizzle the spice-infused oil over them. Use a spatula to toss the chickpeas, ensuring they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Step 6
Return the coated chickpeas to the oven and roast for an additional 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes for even browning and to prevent burning.
Step 7
When the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven. Immediately sprinkle with finely chopped fresh rosemary and toss to distribute. Allow the chickpeas to cool completely, as they will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Step 8
Once fully cooled, store the roasted chickpeas in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 1 week. Enjoy as a heart-healthy snack or salad topping!
