Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can Canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Open the can of chickpeas and drain the liquid. Rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water using a strainer or colander.
Step 3
Place the rinsed chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Pat them dry gently but thoroughly to remove excess moisture.
Step 4
Transfer the chickpeas to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Step 5
Add the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss until the chickpeas are well-coated with the seasonings.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. The chickpeas should be golden and crunchy.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the chickpeas cool slightly. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Step 9
Serve immediately for maximum crunchiness or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
