Ingredients

• 15 oz canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
• 1.5 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp ground cumin
• 0.25 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 or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Remove any loose skins for a crispier result.

Step 3

Transfer the dried chickpeas to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the chickpeas and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chickpeas and toss again until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the seasoning.

Step 6

Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even roasting.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for 35–40 minutes, stirring or shaking the pan halfway through, until they are golden brown and crunchy.

Step 8

Remove the roasted chickpeas from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

Step 9

Once cool, enjoy immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
