Description
These crispy chickpeas are a delicious snack or addition to salads, wraps, or grain bowls. Season them to your liking for an extra flavor boost!
Ingredients
- 2 15-oz. cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 1½ teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a half baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Spread the chickpeas out on a kitchen towel and cover them with another towel. Gently roll them around to loosen some of the skins and to thoroughly dry them (the drier the crispier!). Remove any loose skins.
-
Transfer the chickpeas to the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer. Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes without any oil or spices.
-
Meanwhile, mix the spices in a small bowl and set aside.
-
After 15 minutes, toss the chickpeas with one tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with the spice mixture and stir until evenly coated. If there is extra oil on the baking sheet, pat it dry with paper towels.
-
Bake at 425°F for 10 minutes, then stir the chickpeas and bake an additional 5-10 minutes or until they reach your desired crispiness.
-
Turn off the oven and prop the door open slightly, then let the chickpeas cool inside.
-
Serve: The chickpeas are delicious plain, drizzled with hot honey, or in your favorite salads, wraps, or grain bowls.
Notes
- Less oil = crispier chickpeas.
- Ovens can vary, so if they are not crispy, bake on!
