Chef's Note
For maximum crispiness, make sure your chickpeas are completely dry before roasting. The protein powder coating adds extra protein without changing the flavor much. Store any leftovers in an airtight container, but be aware they'll lose some crispness over time.

Ingredients
1 can (15 oz), drained and rinsed canned chickpeas
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 scoops (60g) unflavored whey protein powder
3 large hard-boiled eggs
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Drain and rinse 1 can of chickpeas, then pat them completely dry with paper towels. Remove any loose skins for extra crispiness.
- 3
In a bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with 1 tablespoon olive oil until evenly coated.
- 4
Add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the chickpeas and mix well to coat evenly.

Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through cooking time, until the chickpeas are golden and crispy.
- 7
While the chickpeas are roasting, prepare 3 hard-boiled eggs: place eggs in a pot, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes. Cool in ice water, peel and slice.
- 8
Once chickpeas are done, let them cool for 5 minutes, then toss with 2 scoops of unflavored whey protein powder until lightly coated.
- 9
Serve the crunchy chickpeas with the sliced hard-boiled eggs for a protein-rich snack.
