Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chickpeas completely dry with a paper towel. This is key for extra crispiness!
  3. In a medium bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil until evenly coated.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt.
  5. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chickpeas and toss well to ensure each chickpea is seasoned.
  6. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  7. Roast for 20-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Let them cool slightly before enjoying.

Notes

  • For maximum crunch, ensure the chickpeas are very dry before roasting.
  • Adjust the spice levels to your preference. Add more cayenne for extra heat.
  • These roasted chickpeas are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They may lose some crispiness over time.
