Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) Canned chickpeas
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 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 or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the chickpeas under cold water, then spread them out on a clean kitchen towel to pat dry. Make sure to remove as much moisture as possible for optimal roasting.
Step 3
Transfer the dried chickpeas to a large mixing bowl and add olive oil. Toss to coat all the chickpeas evenly.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix these spices well.
Step 5
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oiled chickpeas and toss until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the spices.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool. The chickpeas will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Step 9
Serve as a snack or use as a crunchy topping for salads and soups. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week to maintain crispiness.
