Crispy Roasted Chickpeas
Crispy Roasted Chickpeas are a popular and delicious! Roasted chickpeas offer a nutritious and satisfying alternative to traditional salty snacks like potato chips or crackers.
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- ½ tsp paprika (optional)
- ¼ tsp cumin (optional)
- ¼ tsp chili flakes (optional, for spicyness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas from the can. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil until they are evenly coated. You can adjust the amount of olive oil depending on how crispy and flavorful you want them to be. Season them with salt, and if desired, add additional spices like garlic powder, paprika, cumin, or any other seasonings of your choice. Toss well to coat the chickpeas evenly.
- Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Make sure they are spaced out to allow for even roasting.
- Bake the chickpeas in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You can give the baking sheet a shake or stir the chickpeas halfway through the baking process to ensure even browning.
- Once they are done, remove the chickpeas from the oven and let them cool slightly before enjoying. They will become even crispier as they cool down. Enjoy!
