Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp salt
- Optional spice combos: cinnamon+cayenne, Italian herbs+garlic, ranch seasoning
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Thoroughly dry chickpeas with paper towels — dry = crispy.
- Toss with olive oil and spices.
Spread in single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast 25–30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through.
They’re done when golden and crispy throughout.
- Cool completely before storing — they crisp up more as they cool.
Notes
Store in a paper bag or loosely covered container — an airtight container causes them to soften. Eat within 3 days for maximum crunchiness. Make a double batch and use as salad toppings all week.
