Equipment

  • 1 -Baking sheet
  • 1 Parchment paper
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Kitchen towel or paper towels
  • 1 Measuring spoons

Ingredients

  • 15 oz Chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder optional
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cumin optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and drain and rinse the chickpeas.
  • Spread the chickpeas on a kitchen towel and gently pat them dry. Make sure they are completely dry before roasting to help them crisp properly. Remove any loose skins.
  • Transfer the chickpeas to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Toss with olive oil and sea salt until evenly coated.
  • Roast for 20–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove from the oven and, while still warm, toss with paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, cumin, or your favorite spice blend.
  • Let cool slightly before serving for maximum crunch.

Notes

  • Roasted chickpeas are best enjoyed the same day for optimal crispiness.
  • Store loosely covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Avoid refrigerating, as they become chewy quickly.
  • Experiment with spice blends like curry powder, ranch seasoning, chili lime, or Cajun seasoning.
