    How to make crispy roasted chickpeas in the oven?

    1. Rinse and drain your chickpeas

      For the purpose of this recipe, your can cook your own chickpeas from dry or use canned. Pour the cooked chickpeas into a strainer. Rinse and drain thoroughly.

      With a clean kitchen towel or paper towels dry the chickpeas as much as possible. Use enough pressure to dry them without squashing them. Remove any loose skins that come off while drying.

      Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and turn on the oven to 392°F / 200°C. Spread your chickpeas evenly and transfer immediately to the oven while it's still preheating (3-5 minutes). This will help them become totally dry.

    Notes

    • You can add your favorite spices (maybe add smoked paprika or a pinch of cayenne in addition to the spices used in this recipe) and adjust the salt as you desire.
    • For an oil-free version, you can skip the oil, they'll still be delicious.
    • It's important to keep an eye on the oven, especially at the end of the cooking time. Check them frequently because they can quickly become over-done. We don't want tooth breakers here! 🙂
