Ingredients

Servings:4

  • 2 cans (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and dried
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chickpeas very dry and remove loose skins.
  2. Toss with the oil and spread on a lined baking sheet.
  3. Roast 25 to 30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway, until crisp.
  4. Toss with the spices and salt while warm. Cool to crisp further.

Tips

  • Drying the chickpeas well is the key to crunch.
  • Try cinnamon and a little maple syrup for a sweet version.

Storage

Store uncovered or loosely covered at room temperature for 2 days; they soften over time.
