Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.
Dry the chickpeas well with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to remove any excess moisture, which ensures crispiness.
Transfer the dried chickpeas to a medium-sized bowl.
Add olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the chickpeas.
Toss everything together until the chickpeas are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring them every 10 minutes to ensure even roasting.
Chickpeas are done when they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
