Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and dried
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Thoroughly dry the rinsed chickpeas with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is key for crispiness.
- Toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika in a bowl.
- Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 20 to 30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until they are golden brown and crunchy.
- Let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the chickpeas are very dry before seasoning and roasting; moisture prevents crisping.
- Adjust spices to your liking; feel free to add garlic powder or cumin.
- Store leftovers in a loosely covered container at room temperature to maintain some crunch.
