A healthy and delicious vegan snack, perfect for satisfying crunchy cravings. Roasted chickpeas seasoned with smoked paprika and garlic powder.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse and drain the chickpeas thoroughly. Pat them completely dry with paper towels. The drier they are, the crispier they'll get.
In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chickpeas are crispy and golden brown, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking. Watch carefully, as they can burn quickly.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Nutrition per serving (120g)
For extra crispiness, you can remove the skins of the chickpeas before roasting.
Experiment with different seasonings! Try chili powder, cumin, curry powder, or nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
Store leftover chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature. They will soften over time but can be re-crisped in a preheated oven.
