1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
Flavoring 1 : Smoked Paprika Spice (1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, pinch of cayenne pepper)
Flavoring 2 : Rosemary Herb (1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper)
Flavoring 3 : Cumin Chili (1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder)
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the rinsed and drained chickpeas very dry with paper towels. This is key for crispiness!
In a bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil and salt until evenly coated.
Divide the chickpeas into three separate bowls for the three flavor variations.
Add the spice mix for Flavoring 1 (Smoked Paprika Spice) to the first bowl and toss to coat.
Add the herb mix for Flavoring 2 (Rosemary Herb) to the second bowl and toss to coat.
Add the spice mix for Flavoring 3 (Cumin Chili) to the third bowl and toss to coat.
Spread each batch of flavored chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet. You might need two baking sheets to avoid overcrowding.
Roast for 20-30 minutes, or until crunchy and golden brown. Shake the pan halfway through for even roasting.
Let them cool slightly before enjoying your crunchy, flavorful snacks.
Notes
Make sure chickpeas are completely dry before roasting for maximum crunch.
Adjust spice levels to your preference.
Store cooled roasted chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
