Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz or 425 grams) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt
• 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) cayenne pepper
• Optional: 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) ground cumin or coriander

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Pat the chickpeas dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, removing as much moisture as possible.
3. In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and optional cumin or coriander until evenly coated.
4. Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until crispy and golden. Shake the pan or stir the chickpeas halfway through to ensure even cooking.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Tip

Store any leftover chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature. They will remain fresh for up to a week.
