Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder (optional, for extra heat)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water. Spread them out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, and pat them completely dry. Discard any loose skins that come off.
Transfer the dried chickpeas to a medium-sized bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, ground paprika, garam masala, red chili powder (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chickpeas and toss until they are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, shaking the baking sheet every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking. The chickpeas are done when they are golden and crisp.
Remove the chickpeas from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crunchier as they cool.
Serve immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, ensuring they stay crisp.
