Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (15 ounces each) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the chickpeas thoroughly dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is crucial for crispiness.
- In a medium bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using) until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 25-35 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Shake the pan halfway through the cooking time.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure chickpeas are very dry before seasoning.
- Adjust seasonings to your preference.
- Store leftover roasted chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, though they are best enjoyed fresh.
