Chef's Note

For maximum crispiness, make sure your chickpeas are thoroughly dried before roasting. If they're still a bit soft after cooling, you can return them to the turned-off oven with the door slightly open to continue drying out. The nutritional yeast adds a savory, cheesy flavor while boosting the protein content.

Ingredients

  • 4 15-oz cans canned chickpeas

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika

  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • 2

    Drain and rinse 4 cans of 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 for crispier results.

  • 4

    In a large bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika, 2 teaspoons of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.

  • 5

    Add the dried chickpeas to the bowl with the spice mixture and toss until evenly coated.

  • 6

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

  • 7

    Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through cooking time, until the chickpeas are golden and crispy.

  • 8

    Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast, tossing to coat while still hot.

  • 9

    Allow to cool for 5 minutes before garnishing with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.

  • 10

    Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container. For best results, consume within 3-4 days.
