Chef's Note

For maximum crispiness, make sure your chickpeas are thoroughly dried before roasting. You can also leave them in the turned-off oven with the door cracked open for an additional 10 minutes after roasting to further enhance their crunchiness. These roasted chickpeas will stay crispy in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Ingredients

  • 1 15-oz can canned chickpeas

  • 1.5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

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 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.

  • 4

    Allow the chickpeas to air-dry for about 10 minutes - this helps them get crispier during roasting.

  • 5

    In a medium bowl, combine 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne 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. The chickpeas should be golden brown and crispy.

  • 9

    While still hot, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of lemon zest over the chickpeas and toss gently.

  • 10

    Allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving bowl.

  • 11

    Garnish with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley before serving.
