Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 1.5 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Remove any loose skins for a crispier result.
Transfer the dried chickpeas to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the chickpeas and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chickpeas and toss again until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for 35–40 minutes, stirring or shaking the pan halfway through, until they are golden brown and crunchy.
Remove the roasted chickpeas from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Once cool, enjoy immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
