Ingredients

• 15 oz canned chickpeas
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.125 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly in a colander.

Step 3

Spread the rinsed chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and pat them dry. Removing moisture is crucial for crispiness.

Step 4

Once dry, transfer the chickpeas to a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Drizzle the chickpeas with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, ground black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper if using.

Step 6

Toss the chickpeas well to evenly coat them in the oil and spices.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for 35 to 40 minutes.

Step 9

Every 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and shake it gently to ensure even roasting.

Step 10

The chickpeas are done when they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the cooking time as needed depending on your oven.

Step 11

Allow the roasted chickpeas to cool slightly before serving as they will crisp up even more as they cool.

Step 12

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
