Chef's Note

For maximum crispness, make sure your chickpeas are thoroughly dried before roasting. The nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor while boosting protein content. If you prefer a different flavor profile, try substituting the spice blend with curry powder, za'atar, or Italian seasoning. These chickpeas make a great protein-packed snack but can also be used as a salad topper or soup garnish.

Ingredients

  • 2 15-oz cans canned chickpeas

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • 2

    Drain and rinse 2 cans of chickpeas thoroughly in a colander under cold running water.

  • 3

    Spread the chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel and gently pat them dry. Remove any loose skins that come off during this process for crispier results.

  • 4

    Allow the chickpeas to air-dry for about 10 minutes - this extra step helps achieve maximum crispness.

  • 5

    In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

  • 6

    Add the dried chickpeas to the spice mixture and toss until they are evenly coated.

  • 7

    Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they're not overcrowded.

  • 8

    Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking.

  • 9

    While the chickpeas are still hot from the oven, sprinkle 3 tablespoons of nutritional yeast over them and toss gently to coat.

  • 10

    Return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until the chickpeas are golden and crispy.

  • 11

    Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.

  • 12

    Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley before serving.

  • 13

    Once completely cooled, store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
