  • 2 cans chickpeas drained and dried
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

  3. Roast 20 minutes, then shake the pan and roast 10 more minutes until crisp.

Notes

Drying the chickpeas well is the difference between crispy and chewy.
