Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.
Spread the rinsed chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel and gently rub to dry them completely. Removing excess moisture will help them become extra crispy.
In a mixing bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil until evenly coated.
Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well until all chickpeas are coated with the spices.
Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crunchy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before serving. This will help them retain their crunchiness.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
