Ingredients
Servings
6
- 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Drain and rinse chickpeas thoroughly. Spread them on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and pat completely dry to remove moisture—this ensures maximum crispiness.
-
In a large mixing bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil until evenly coated.
-
Add smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat all chickpeas with the spice blend.
-
Spread seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring or shaking the pan every 10 minutes to promote even roasting and crispiness.
-
Remove from the oven when chickpeas are golden brown and crunchy. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet to crisp further.
-
Store cooled roasted chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
