Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 ounce Canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 1.5 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Open the can of chickpeas, drain them, and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Spread them out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, and pat them dry. Removing as much moisture as possible helps them roast evenly and become crispy.
Transfer the dried chickpeas to a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, garam masala, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Toss until the chickpeas are evenly coated with oil and spices.
Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.
Roast the chickpeas in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, shaking the baking sheet halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chickpeas cool for 5-10 minutes. They will become crispier as they cool.
Serve the roasted chickpeas immediately as a snack, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days.
