- 1 15-ounce can chickpeas
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
How to make Smoky & Spicy Roasted Chickpeas
- Drain and rinse 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas thoroughly under cold water. Pat them exceptionally dry with paper towels; this is crucial for crispiness, so take your time to remove as much moisture as possible.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easier cleanup.
- In a medium bowl, combine the dried chickpeas with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ensuring they are lightly and evenly coated.
- Add 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more for extra heat), 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the bowl. Toss everything together until the chickpeas are uniformly covered in the spices.
- Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding will steam the chickpeas instead of roasting them, resulting in a softer texture.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden brown, crunchy, and slightly shriveled. Keep a close eye on them during the last 5-10 minutes to prevent burning, as oven temperatures can vary.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chickpeas cool completely on the pan. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
- Serve immediately as a crunchy snack, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
