Ingredients
- 15 ounces canned chickpeas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Open and drain the canned chickpeas. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove any excess salt and residues.
Step 3
Spread the chickpeas onto a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and gently pat them dry. Ensure they are as dry as possible to achieve maximum crunchiness.
Step 4
Transfer the chickpeas to a large bowl. Add olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss them well until all the chickpeas are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to help them crisp up evenly.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden brown and crunchy.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet to retain their crispiness. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container once cooled thoroughly.
