Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas under cold water, then spread them out on a clean kitchen towel to pat dry. Make sure to remove as much moisture as possible for optimal roasting.
Transfer the dried chickpeas to a large mixing bowl and add olive oil. Toss to coat all the chickpeas evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix these spices well.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oiled chickpeas and toss until the chickpeas are evenly 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 halfway through to ensure even roasting, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool. The chickpeas will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Serve as a snack or use as a crunchy topping for salads and soups. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week to maintain crispiness.
