Crispy Roasted Chickpeas Snack (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
02 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
03 -
½ teaspoon salt
04 -
½ teaspoon black pepper
05 -
½ teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
07 -
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Spread the chickpeas on a paper towel and pat them dry thoroughly. The drier they are, the crispier they’ll get!
03 -
In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).
04 -
Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
05 -
Let the roasted chickpeas cool for 5 minutes before serving. They’ll crisp up even more as they cool.
# Notes:
01 -
Let the chickpeas cool completely before storing to maintain crispiness.
