Instructions
Prep the Chickpeas
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Spread the drained chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel and pat them completely dry. Removing moisture is essential for achieving maximum crunch.
Season and Coat
Transfer the dried chickpeas to a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss well to coat evenly. Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt, then toss again until every chickpea is fully coated in the spice mixture.
Roast Until Crispy
Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the chickpeas are deeply golden and audibly crunchy.
Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and allow the chickpeas to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
