Ingredients
- 15 ounce Canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 1.5 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Open the can of chickpeas, drain them, and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Spread them out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, and pat them dry. Removing as much moisture as possible helps them roast evenly and become crispy.
Step 3
Transfer the dried chickpeas to a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, garam masala, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Toss until the chickpeas are evenly coated with oil and spices.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.
Step 5
Roast the chickpeas in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, shaking the baking sheet halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Step 6
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chickpeas cool for 5-10 minutes. They will become crispier as they cool.
Step 7
Serve the roasted chickpeas immediately as a snack, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days.
