The Ingredients:
2 cans (15 oz each) of chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Seasoning options: Choose from a variety of flavors such as chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, curry powder, dried herbs, sea salt, or a combination of your favorite spices.
The Method:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Removing excess moisture will help achieve a crispier result.
In a mixing bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Choose your desired seasoning or spice blend and sprinkle it over the chickpeas. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors and spices.
Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This allows them to roast evenly and ensures maximum crispiness.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the chickpeas turn golden brown and become crispy. It's a good idea to shake the baking sheet or toss the chickpeas halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning.
Once baked, remove the chickpeas from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. This will allow them to further crisp up.
