- 15 ounces canned chickpeas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas well. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensure they are completely dry to achieve maximum crispiness.
Transfer the dried chickpeas to a mixing bowl. Add olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Stir until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Spread the chickpeas out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, shaking the pan every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Remove from the oven once they are golden and crispy. Allow to cool on the baking sheet, they will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container once completely cooled.
