Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Dried chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the dried chickpeas thoroughly under cold water. Place them in a large bowl and cover with plenty of water. Leave to soak overnight or for at least 8 hours.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas. Use a clean kitchen towel to pat them completely dry. This step is crucial for achieving crispy chickpeas.
Spread the chickpeas onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper.
Toss the chickpeas gently to ensure they are evenly coated in the oil and spices.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for about 45 minutes. Stir them every 15 minutes to ensure even roasting.
The chickpeas are done when they are golden brown and crisp to the bite. If they're not quite crispy after 45 minutes, continue roasting and checking every 5 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. This will help them harden and crisp up further.
Once cooled, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
