Ingredients
- 250 grams Dried chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the dried chickpeas thoroughly under cold water. Place them in a large bowl and cover with plenty of water. Leave to soak overnight or for at least 8 hours.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 3
Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas. Use a clean kitchen towel to pat them completely dry. This step is crucial for achieving crispy chickpeas.
Step 4
Spread the chickpeas onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper.
Step 5
Toss the chickpeas gently to ensure they are evenly coated in the oil and spices.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for about 45 minutes. Stir them every 15 minutes to ensure even roasting.
Step 7
The chickpeas are done when they are golden brown and crisp to the bite. If they're not quite crispy after 45 minutes, continue roasting and checking every 5 minutes.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. This will help them harden and crisp up further.
Step 9
Once cooled, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
