Ingredients
- 1 can Canned chickpeas (15 oz)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water. Pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensuring the chickpeas are completely dry will help them crisp up in the oven.
Step 3
Spread the dried chickpeas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 4
Drizzle the chickpeas with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper, if using.
Step 5
Toss the chickpeas gently but thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Step 6
Arrange the chickpeas in a single, even layer on the baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Bake the chickpeas in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Stir them halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning.
Step 8
Remove the chickpeas from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. As they cool, they will continue to crisp up.
Step 9
Serve the roasted chickpeas immediately for the best texture, or store them in an airtight container once completely cooled for up to 2 days.
