Ingredients
2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon ground curry powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional, for extra zing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Pat the chickpeas dry with paper towels, removing as much moisture as possible to ensure they get crispy.
- In a large bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, curry powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let the chickpeas cool on the baking sheet for extra crispiness.
- If desired, drizzle with fresh lemon juice for a burst of flavor.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
For extra crispiness, ensure chickpeas are as dry as possible before roasting.
To re-crisp, place chickpeas back in a 350°F (175°C) oven for a few minutes.
Customize the flavor with additional spices like cayenne pepper for heat, or nutritional yeast for a cheesy twist.
