Servings 2
Ingredients
- 1 can 15 oz chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Optional: cayenne pepper for heat
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare Chickpeas: Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Removing excess moisture helps them become extra crispy.
- Season: In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, and any additional spices you desire.
- Roast: Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Enjoy: Once done, allow them to cool slightly before snacking. Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their crunch.
