Ingredients
- 15 ounce Canned chickpeas
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water. Spread them out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towel and pat them dry. The drier the chickpeas, the crispier they’ll get.
Step 3
Transfer the chickpeas to a mixing bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the chickpeas are coated evenly with the oil and seasonings.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring the chickpeas halfway through cooking. Keep an eye on them as every oven varies and you want them golden and crisp but not burnt.
Step 6
Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. This will help them crisp up further.
Step 7
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container. These crunchy chickpeas make a great snack or topping for salads and soups.
