Ingredients

• 2 cups canned chickpeas (or any beans like black beans or kidney beans)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra spice)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas (or other beans, if using). Pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Removing as much moisture as possible helps them roast evenly and become crispy.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the beans with olive oil to coat them evenly.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Sprinkle the spice mixture over the beans and toss until the beans are fully coated.

Step 6

Spread the spiced beans in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Roast the beans in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them during the last 5-10 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 8

Remove the roasted beans from the oven and let them cool slightly. They will crisp up further as they cool.

Step 9

Enjoy as a snack, a salad topping, or part of a charcuterie board. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain crunchiness.
