Ingredients
- 2 cups canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon optional spices (cayenne pepper, chili powder, or smoked paprika)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. The drier the chickpeas, the crispier they will be.
Step 3
Transfer the dried chickpeas to a large bowl. Add the olive oil and stir to ensure all the chickpeas are evenly coated.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, ground black pepper, and any optional spices you’re using. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chickpeas and toss until they are evenly seasoned.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to roast properly and aren’t piled on top of each other.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, stirring the chickpeas halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Step 7
Check for crispiness at the 35-minute mark. If they aren’t crispy enough, continue roasting in 3-5 minute intervals, keeping a close watch to avoid burning.
Step 8
Remove the chickpeas from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
Step 9
Once cooled, enjoy them immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
