Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups canned chickpeas (or any beans like black beans or kidney beans)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra spice)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas (or other beans, if using). Pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Removing as much moisture as possible helps them roast evenly and become crispy.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the beans with olive oil to coat them evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the beans and toss until the beans are fully coated.
Spread the spiced beans in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Roast the beans in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them during the last 5-10 minutes to prevent burning.
Remove the roasted beans from the oven and let them cool slightly. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Enjoy as a snack, a salad topping, or part of a charcuterie board. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain crunchiness.
