# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for some heat)
02 -
½ tsp smoked paprika
03 -
½ tsp garlic powder
04 -
½ tsp black pepper
05 -
½ tsp salt
06 -
1 tbsp olive oil
07 -
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and dried
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn your oven to 400°F (200°C) and get a baking sheet lined with parchment.
02 -
Lay out the chickpeas on a paper towel, then pat them down until they're as dry as possible. Dry chickpeas make crunchier snacks.
03 -
Mix the chickpeas in a bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne if you'd like it spicy.
04 -
Spread them in one layer across the prepared baking sheet. Pop the tray into the oven for 25-30 minutes, giving it a shake midway through baking to help them cook evenly. They should turn crispy and golden.
05 -
Take them out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. They'll crunch up even more as they sit.
# Notes:
01 -
Keep leftovers in a tightly sealed container for up to 4 days. If they start to lose their crunch, toss them back in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-10 minutes.
