# What You'll Need:
→ Chickpeas
01 - 2 cups (about 1 can, 400 g) cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
→ Seasonings
02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
04 - 1/2 tsp ground cumin
05 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
06 - 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
07 - 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
08 - 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Pat the chickpeas very dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Remove any loose skins for extra crispiness.
03 - In a large bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil until evenly coated.
04 - Add paprika, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
05 - Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
06 - Roast for 30–35 minutes, shaking the pan or stirring every 10 minutes, until golden and crispy.
07 - Let cool for 10 minutes (they crisp further as they cool). Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
