Ingredients

• 15 ounce can canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
• 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 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 or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Open the can of chickpeas and drain them thoroughly in a colander. Rinse well under cool running water.

Step 3

Spread the rinsed chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Gently pat them dry, removing as much moisture as possible. Remove any loose skins for a crispier texture.

Step 4

Transfer the chickpeas to a mixing bowl. Add the olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 6

Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chickpeas and toss until evenly coated.

Step 7

Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Roast the chickpeas in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the chickpeas cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up further as they cool.

Step 10

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
