Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Zest of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Dry the rinsed chickpeas thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is key for crispiness.
- In a bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until they are golden brown and crunchy.
- Remove from the oven. Immediately toss the hot chickpeas with the fresh lemon zest and lemon juice.
- Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade snack!
Notes
- Make sure the chickpeas are completely dry before adding oil; excess moisture prevents crisping.
- You can adjust the garlic powder or paprika to your taste preference.
- Store leftovers in a loosely covered container at room temperature for up to three days. Do not store in an airtight container, or they will lose their crunch.
