Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water. Spread them out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towel and pat them dry. The drier the chickpeas, the crispier they’ll get.
Transfer the chickpeas to a mixing bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the chickpeas are coated evenly with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring the chickpeas halfway through cooking. Keep an eye on them as every oven varies and you want them golden and crisp but not burnt.
Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. This will help them crisp up further.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container. These crunchy chickpeas make a great snack or topping for salads and soups.
