Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon extra -virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Rinse chickpeas thoroughly and spread them onto a clean kitchen towel; pat vigorously until completely dry and remove any loose skins.
  3. Transfer the dried chickpeas to the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, tossing to coat evenly.
  4. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the chickpeas are beginning to turn golden and firm.
  5. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sea salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cumin while the oil is still hot.
  6. Toss until the chickpeas are well-coated in the spice mixture.
  7. Return to the oven for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the chickpeas are very crunchy and deep golden brown.
  8. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the chickpeas to cool inside for 10 minutes to maximize crispness.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature before storing in an airtight container.
