Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Open the can of chickpeas, drain them, and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Shake off any excess water.
Place the chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Pat them dry as thoroughly as possible to ensure crisp roasting.
Transfer the dried chickpeas to a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil and stir to coat the chickpeas evenly.
Sprinkle the paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper over the chickpeas. Toss the chickpeas until they are evenly coated with the seasonings.
Spread the seasoned chickpeas out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not touching each other for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to promote even browning.
Check the chickpeas at the 25-minute mark. They should be golden and crispy. If needed, roast for another 5 minutes until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
Remove the roasted chickpeas from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Serve immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
