Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz Canned chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Open and drain the canned chickpeas. Rinse them under cold water and gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Removing as much moisture as possible will help them crisp up nicely.
Place the dried chickpeas in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure all chickpeas are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Spread the chickpeas out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not too crowded to allow even crisping.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes. Shake the pan or stir the chickpeas halfway through to ensure even cooking.
The chickpeas are done when they are golden and crispy. They may seem slightly soft right out of the oven but will continue to crisp as they cool.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a bowl or storing them in an airtight container.
Enjoy as a snack, or use as a crunchy topping for salads and soups.
