Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- 2
Ensure your chickpeas are thoroughly dry. This is key for maximum crispiness! You can pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- 3
In a medium bowl, combine the dried chickpeas with olive oil. Toss gently to coat them evenly.
- 4
Add the chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss again until all the chickpeas are beautifully coated in the spice mixture.
- 5
Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Don't overcrowd the pan, as this can steam them instead of roasting.
- 6
Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden brown, crispy, and crunchy. Keep an eye on them towards the end, as ovens can vary.
- 7
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. They'll crisp up even more as they cool.
- 8
Serve immediately as a snack, sprinkle over salads, or add to your favorite wraps for an extra kick and crunch!
