Ingredients

• 15 oz canned chickpeas
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp onion powder
• 0.5 tsp ground cumin
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Make sure they are completely dry to ensure they roast well.

Step 3

Spread the chickpeas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil over the chickpeas and toss them to coat evenly.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the chickpeas and toss again to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for 35-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to make sure they cook evenly.

Step 8

Once the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet.

Step 9

Serve immediately for maximum crunchiness, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
