Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 15 oz chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika optional
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Prep the chickpeas: Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas. Pat them dry thoroughly with a clean towel. Remove any loose skins if you like.
  2. Season: In a bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, turmeric, paprika, salt, and black pepper until coated evenly.
  3. Arrange: Spread the chickpeas on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Roast: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30–40 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through for even cooking.
  5. Cool: Let the chickpeas cool for 10 minutes. This helps them get even crispier.
  6. Enjoy: Snack right away or sprinkle them on salads, bowls, or soups.

Notes

  • Best eaten fresh on the same day—they’re crunchiest right after roasting.
  • Store in a jar at room temperature for 2–3 days. If they soften, re-crisp in the oven at 350°F for 5–10 minutes.
  • You can double the batch easily, just use two baking sheets to avoid overcrowding.
