Ingredients

• 15 oz canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Open the can of chickpeas, drain them, and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Shake off any excess water.

Step 3

Place the chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Pat them dry as thoroughly as possible to ensure crisp roasting.

Step 4

Transfer the dried chickpeas to a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil and stir to coat the chickpeas evenly.

Step 5

Sprinkle the paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper over the chickpeas. Toss the chickpeas until they are evenly coated with the seasonings.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned chickpeas out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not touching each other for even roasting.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to promote even browning.

Step 8

Check the chickpeas at the 25-minute mark. They should be golden and crispy. If needed, roast for another 5 minutes until they reach your desired level of crispiness.

Step 9

Remove the roasted chickpeas from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
