Spicy Roasted Chickpeas

Ingredients

• 2 15-oz cans canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• 1 tbsp avocado oil
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 0.5 tsp cumin
• 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
• 0.25 tsp garlic powder
• 0.125 tsp cayenne pepper
• 0.25 tsp salt

Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2Thoroughly rinse and drain the chickpeas. Pat them very dry with paper towels; this is crucial for crispiness.
3. 3In a medium bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with avocado oil until evenly coated.
4. 4In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt.
5. 5Add the spice mixture to the chickpeas and toss until they are well-seasoned.
6. 6Spread the 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. Some may pop open.
8. 8Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. They will become crispier as they cool.
