Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can chickpeas (15 oz), drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Preparing the oven in advance ensures even cooking and optimal crispiness.
- Pat the chickpeas dry with a towel. Removing excess moisture is crucial for achieving that coveted crispy texture.
- In a bowl, mix chickpeas, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Ensure each chickpea is well-coated to maximize flavor.
- Spread the chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer. This prevents overcrowding, allowing the chickpeas to cook evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy, stirring halfway through. Turning the chickpeas mid-bake ensures uniform crispiness.
- Let cool before enjoying as a snack! Cooling allows the chickpeas to reach peak crunchiness.
