Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200 °C).

    In a mixing bowl, combine the drained and rinsed (1 can) chickpeas with (1 tsp) olive oil, (1 tsp) chili powder, (1/2 tsp) cumin, (1/2 tsp) garlic powder, (1/4 tsp) smoked paprika, (1/4 tsp) salt, and (1/4 tsp) black pepper. Stir until well coated.

    Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until crispy, stirring halfway through.
