Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 cans chickpeas (15 ounces each, drained, rinsed, and patted dry)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Spice Mix:

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Chickpeas: Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the baking sheet and pat dry with a paper towel. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
  3. Mix Spices: In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle over the chickpeas and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Roast Chickpeas: Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the chickpeas cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, leave the chickpeas in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 5 to 10 minutes after baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Try different spice blends like curry powder or ranch seasoning for variety.
