Spicy Roasted Chickpea Snack

Ingredients

• 2 15-ounce cans Canned chickpeas
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp Chili powder
• 0.5 tsp Cumin
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.1 tsp Cayenne pepper

Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly. Pat them very dry with paper towels. This is crucial for crispiness.
3. 3In a medium bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil until lightly coated.
4. 4In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using).
5. 5Add the spice mixture to the chickpeas and toss until evenly coated.
6. 6Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
7. 7Roast for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy.
8. 8Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. They will become crispier as they cool.
