Ingredients
Scale
2 cans (15 ounces each) Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans)
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Sea Salt
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
1 teaspoon Cumi
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Drain and rinse your chickpeas in a colander
- Spread the chickpeas onto a clean kitchen towel and pat them until they are completely dry. Remove any loose skins
- Place the dry chickpeas on a large rimmed baking sheet and roast them 'naked' for about 15 minutes
- Drizzle the Olive Oil over the chickpeas and toss until coated. Sprinkle with sea salt, garlic powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Toss again to distribute the spices
- Return the seasoned chickpeas to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the pan every few minutes
- Once they are golden and firm, turn off the oven and crack the door open slightly. Let them sit in the cooling oven for 10 minutes
Notes
Make sure to dry the chickpeas thoroughly to achieve maximum crunch.
Do not overload the baking sheet to allow for even roasting.
