Ingredients
Scale
- 15 ounces canned chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then pat them dry with a paper towel, removing any loose skins.
- Toss the chickpeas in a bowl with olive oil and salt until fully coated, then spread them onto the baking sheet in an even layer.
- Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, watching closely after 25 minutes, and shake the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking. For a creamy center, aim for 25 minutes; for ultimate crunch, 35 minutes is best.
- Remove from the oven and toss with cumin, paprika, and cayenne powder. Enjoy immediately for optimal taste and texture.
Notes
Ensure the chickpeas are completely dry for maximum crunch.
Store cooled chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days.
Experiment with other spices or herbs to create your own flavor variations.
