Ingredients

• 15 ounces canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly in a colander with cold water.

Step 3

Spread the rinsed chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Pat them dry as thoroughly as possible to ensure they roast evenly and become crispy.

Step 4

Transfer the dried chickpeas to a mixing bowl and add olive oil. Toss until the chickpeas are evenly coated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Roast the chickpeas in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 9

Check for doneness at the 25-minute mark. The chickpeas should be golden-brown and crispy. If needed, roast for an additional 5 minutes, but monitor closely to prevent burning.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Transfer the roasted chickpeas to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
