Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 ounces Canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.
Spread the chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel and gently pat them dry, removing any loose skins if possible.
Transfer the dried chickpeas to a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chickpeas and toss them until they are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oiled chickpeas and toss again to ensure even distribution of the spices.
Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Roast the chickpeas in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to promote even cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the chickpeas to cool completely on the sheet; they will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, enjoy the chickpeas immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
