Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (or cooking spray for fewer points)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly. Use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to pat them completely dry. Removing as much moisture as possible ensures they crisp up well.
In a medium bowl, combine the dried chickpeas, olive oil (or use a quick spray of cooking spray), smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they aren't crowded to allow even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, shaking the pan every 10 minutes to ensure even browning. The chickpeas are done when they are golden and crisp.
Allow the chickpeas to cool slightly—they will continue to crisp up as they cool. Serve immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
