Crispy Roasted Chickpeas

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. Tajín lime-chili-salt condiment
  • 1-2 tsp. sugar
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Spread chickpeas in a single layer on a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake at 400ºF for 40-50 minutes, or until chickpeas are almost entirely dried and crunchy. Stir periodically to ensure even baking.
  • Remove chickpeas from oven, but keep the oven on. Dump chickpeas into a large bowl. Mix in olive oil and spices, tasting as you go.
  • Return seasoned chickpeas to oven and bake for 10 more minutes or until just crunchy. Watch carefully so chickpeas don't burn, because they will burn very quickly after you add the seasonings.
  • Shut off oven and allow chickpeas to sit for an additional 10-20 minutes in oven. Remove chickpeas from oven and let cool fully; the chickpeas will continue to crisp up as they cool. Eat within two days for optimum freshness and crunch.
