Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas thoroughly, then pat them dry with a paper towel to remove as much moisture as possible. This helps them become crispy when roasted.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chickpeas with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using.
Toss the chickpeas in the mixture until they are evenly coated with the spices and oil.
Spread the chickpeas out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the chickpeas in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, stirring them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
Once they are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Serve the roasted chickpeas while warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
