Ingredients
2 cans chickpeas
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
1. Drain the canned chickpeas. Then dry them really well using a clean dishtowel. Just gently roll
them between the dishtowel. You could also use paper towel.
2. In a medium bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil. We'll add the spices after baking because
they have a tendency to burn. So don't worry about them for now.
3. Preheat your oven to 350 °F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the chickpeas
on the baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes.
4. Then take the chickpeas out of the oven and place them in the bowl you used before. Add the
spices and toss well until the chickpeas are coated evenly.
5. Return them to the baking sheet and bake for another 10 minutes until they're browned and
crunchy.

Notes
It's important to dry the chickpeas as well as possible. This way they will become much
crunchier. You could either use a clean dishtowel or paper towel.
I think it's better to add the spices and seasonings towards the end of the baking time and
not right away. Mostly because they have the tendency to burn and make the baked
chickpeas a bit bitter. I experimented a bit and I like to first bake the chickpeas for 25 minutes,
then add the spices, and bake them for another 10 minutes. This way they will turn out
perfectly crispy and spicy.
Don't skimp on the olive oil. It will make the chickpeas super crispy. Of course you could use
less, but your chickpeas will become less crispy this way.

Once the chickpeas cool, they don't stay as crispy. So it's best to eat them while they're still
warm.
The roasted chickpeas are super versatile. You can get really creative when it comes to the
spices and seasonings. I added some ideas above in the text section of this post.
