Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
- Spread the rinsed chickpeas on a clean towel and dry them thoroughly, removing any loose skins that separate easily.
- Toss the dry chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the chickpeas in one uncrowded layer and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, shaking the pan every 10 minutes, until golden and crisp.
- Let the chickpeas cool on the pan for 5 minutes before serving; they become crisper as steam escapes.
