Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (or cooking spray for fewer points)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly. Use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to pat them completely dry. Removing as much moisture as possible ensures they crisp up well.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the dried chickpeas, olive oil (or use a quick spray of cooking spray), smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 4
Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they aren't crowded to allow even roasting.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, shaking the pan every 10 minutes to ensure even browning. The chickpeas are done when they are golden and crisp.
Step 6
Allow the chickpeas to cool slightly—they will continue to crisp up as they cool. Serve immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
