Chef's Note

For maximum crispness, make sure your chickpeas are thoroughly dried before roasting. If you have an air fryer, you can cook these at 380°F for 15-18 minutes instead of using the oven, shaking the basket every 5 minutes. The nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor while boosting the protein content without adding dairy.

Ingredients

  • 2 15-oz cans canned chickpeas

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons paprika

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast

  • 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 dry. Remove any loose skins for a crispier result.

  • 4

    Transfer the dried chickpeas to a large bowl and let them air dry for an additional 5 minutes.

  • 5

    In a small bowl, mix together 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.

  • 6

    Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the chickpeas and toss to coat evenly.

  • 7

    Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oiled chickpeas and toss again until all chickpeas are well coated.

  • 8

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

  • 9

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

  • 10

    While the chickpeas are still hot from the oven, drizzle 1 tablespoon of maple syrup over them and toss gently.

  • 11

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

  • 12

    Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle 3 tablespoons of nutritional yeast over the hot chickpeas, tossing to coat.

  • 13

    Allow the chickpeas to cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet; they'll continue to crisp as they cool.

  • 14

    Finely chop 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley and sprinkle over the chickpeas before serving.

  • 15

    Divide into 2 equal servings and enjoy warm, or store in an airtight container once completely cooled.
