Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups canned chickpeas (about 1½ cans), rinsed and drained
  • 1½ tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano or thyme

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Prep the Chickpeas
    Rinse and drain the chickpeas thoroughly. Spread them on a clean kitchen towel and pat completely dry. Removing moisture is essential for crispiness.
  2. Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if desired.
  3. Season Evenly
    Transfer the dry chickpeas to a mixing bowl. Add olive oil, salt, and your chosen seasonings. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Roast in the Oven
    Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 35–40 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden and crunchy.
  5. Cool for Final Crunch
    Remove from the oven and let the chickpeas cool on the baking sheet for 5–10 minutes. They will continue to crisp as they cool.

Notes

  • For extra crispy chickpeas, make sure they are completely dry before seasoning.
  • Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet, this helps moisture escape.
  • Chickpeas crisp more as they cool, so don’t overbake.
