Crispy roasted chickpeas make a delicious, healthy snack or crunchy topping for salads and bowls. They’re easy to customize with different spices.
Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- Optional spices: 1/2 teaspoon paprika, cumin, curry powder, chili powder, or garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then pat them very dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Spread the chickpeas on the baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and desired spices, and toss to coat.
- Return to the oven and roast for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until crispy.
- Let cool on the baking sheet—they’ll continue to crisp up as they cool.
Notes
- For maximum crispiness, dry the chickpeas thoroughly before roasting.
- Customize the flavor by adding your favorite spices.
