A quick and healthy snack with spiced and roasted chickpeas for a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chickpeas very dry with a paper towel. This is key for crispiness.
  3. In a medium bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil until evenly coated.
  4. Add the cumin, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Toss again to coat the chickpeas thoroughly with the spices.
  5. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  6. Roast for 20-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crunchy.
  7. Let them cool slightly before enjoying.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can remove the skins from the chickpeas before roasting.
  • Feel free to adjust the spices to your preference. Add other spices like chili powder, turmeric, or coriander.
  • These are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. They may lose some crispiness over time.
