Chef's Note

The key to perfectly crispy chickpeas is ensuring they're completely dry before roasting. For extra crunch, leave them in the turned-off oven with the door cracked for an additional 10 minutes after baking. These are best eaten within 24 hours for maximum crispness, but can be re-crisped in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes if they soften. Try experimenting with different spice combinations like curry powder, za'atar, or chili lime.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary

  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • 2

    Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly in a colander under cold water.

  • 3

    Spread the chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel and gently pat dry, removing as much moisture as possible. Remove any loose skins that come off during this process.

  • 4

    Transfer the dried chickpeas to a medium bowl.

  • 5

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and sea salt.

  • 6

    Pour the spice mixture over the chickpeas and toss until they're evenly coated.

  • 7

    Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

  • 8

    Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and give the pan a shake to turn the chickpeas.

  • 9

    Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chickpeas are golden and crispy.

  • 10

    While still hot, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with finely chopped fresh rosemary and lemon zest.

  • 11

    Toss gently to coat and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet (they will crisp up more as they cool).

  • 12

    Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
