Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings
Course: Snack

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Choose a Flavor
  • Smoky: 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, pinch of cayenne
  • Cinnamon-sweet: 1 teaspoon cinnamon plus 2 teaspoons maple syrup (add in the last 5 minutes)
  • Ranch: 1 teaspoon dried dill, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chickpeas very dry with a clean towel and remove any loose skins. This is the key to crunch.
  3. Toss with oil and salt and spread in a single layer on a lined baking sheet.
  4. Roast 25 to 35 minutes, shaking the pan halfway, until deep golden and crisp.
  5. Toss with your chosen seasoning while still warm. Let cool completely; they crisp up more as they cool.

Notes

Storage: Store in an open container or paper bag at room temperature for up to 2 days. An airtight container makes them soften.
