Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven and dry the chickpeas

    Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Dry the chickpeas thoroughly with a towel — the drier they are, the crispier they get. Discard any loose skins.

  2. 2

    Oil and spread

    Toss the chickpeas with the olive oil and spread on a baking tray in a single layer.

  3. 3

    Roast until crisp

    ⏱ 27 min 30 sec

    Roast for 25–30 minutes, shaking the tray halfway, until deep golden and crisp.

  4. 4

    Season while hot

    Toss the hot chickpeas with the smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne and salt. Cool slightly before eating.

Notes

Best eaten the day they're made — they soften in storage. A crunchy swap for chips that delivers protein and fiber for very few calories.
