Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned chickpeas
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Make sure they are completely dry to ensure they roast well.
Spread the chickpeas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chickpeas and toss them to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the chickpeas and toss again to evenly distribute the spices.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for 35-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to make sure they cook evenly.
Once the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet.
Serve immediately for maximum crunchiness, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
