Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water, removing any excess liquid.
Spread the chickpeas out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and pat them dry thoroughly. Removing as much moisture as possible is key to achieving a crispy texture.
Transfer the dried chickpeas to a large bowl. Add the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Toss the chickpeas with the spices and oil until they are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned chickpeas onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. It is important not to overcrowd the chickpeas to allow them to roast properly.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice throughout the cooking process to ensure even roasting.
Keep an eye on the chickpeas during the last few minutes of roasting to prevent burning. They should be golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the chickpeas cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes to allow them to further crisp up.
Serve warm or store cooled chickpeas in an airtight container for up to a week.
