Ingredients
1 can chickpeas, rinsed, drained, and thoroughly dried
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp salt
Method
- 1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2Place the rinsed chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel and gently pat them until completely dry. Removing excess moisture is the secret to a good crunch.
- 3Transfer the dry chickpeas to a bowl and toss with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated.
- 4Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- 5Roast for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until they are deeply golden and crispy. Let them cool on the pan for a few minutes to crisp up even more before snacking.
