Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water to remove excess sodium and preservatives.
Spread the chickpeas out on a clean kitchen towel and pat them dry thoroughly to ensure they crisp up well in the oven.
Transfer the chickpeas to a mixing bowl, and add olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Toss the chickpeas until they are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the chickpeas in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, shaking the baking sheet halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.
Check for crispness; they should be golden brown and crunchy. If needed, roast for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Let the roasted chickpeas cool completely before serving to maintain their texture.
