Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Drain, rinse, and thoroughly dry the chickpeas — rub them in a towel and discard any loose skins.
  3. Toss with the olive oil and spread on a sheet pan in a single layer.
  4. Roast 30–35 minutes, shaking the pan twice, until deeply golden and crunchy.
  5. Toss the hot chickpeas with the spices and salt.
  6. Cool completely so they crisp up fully, then store loosely covered.

Tips

  • Drying the chickpeas well is the key to crunch — any moisture makes them chewy.
  • They soften over time, so they are best within a day or two. Re-crisp in a hot oven for a few minutes.
