Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet lined with parchment paper
  • 1 Wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked chickpeas home-cooked from dry chickpeas or canned
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil extra virgin
  • ½-1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon cumin powder
  • ½ teaspoon curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • 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.

  • Next, roast chickpeas at 392°F / 200°C for 25 minutes. With a spoon stir the chickpeas or shake the pan every 10 minutes. A few chickpeas may pop - that's normal
    After 25 minutes, remove them from the oven. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss with salt and spices. With a wooden spoon, mix until they are completely coated with the oil and spices.
    Roast for additional 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
    Because ovens can vary, check their crispiness. If they're still soft inside, roast for additional 5-10 minutes.

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! :)
