Pro tips
- Ensure chickpeas are thoroughly dry before roasting for maximum crispiness.
- Experiment with different spices like curry powder, chili powder, or onion powder for variety.
- These roasted chickpeas are great as a snack, salad topper, or soup garnish.
- Store cooled roasted chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days to maintain crispness.
Method
- 1Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly, then pat them very dry with a paper towel. This is crucial for crispiness!
- 3In a medium bowl, combine the dried chickpeas, olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the chickpeas are evenly coated.
- 4Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
- 5Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- 6Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. They will become even crispier as they cool.
