Ingredients
2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon ground sumac
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, ground sumac, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy. Shake the baking sheet halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For extra crispiness, make sure the chickpeas are completely dry before roasting.
If you want a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper or chili powder to the spice mix.
These chickpeas can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
To restore crispness, reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes.
