Ingredients
- 15 ounces Canned chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas. Spread them on a clean kitchen towel or paper towel and pat dry. Ensure the chickpeas are as dry as possible to help them crisp up in the oven.
Step 3
Transfer the dried chickpeas to a large mixing bowl.
Step 4
Add the olive oil, paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper to the bowl with the chickpeas. Toss until all the chickpeas are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Step 5
Spread the spiced chickpeas evenly on a baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer for even roasting.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the preheated oven.
Step 7
Roast the chickpeas for about 35-45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure they roast evenly, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the chickpeas from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The chickpeas will continue to crisp as they cool down.
Step 9
Once fully cooled, serve the crispy roasted chickpeas as a snack or salad topping. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
