Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: Thoroughly dry the rinsed chickpeas. This is key to achieving a crispy texture. You can use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Step 3: In a medium bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil, curry powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, turmeric, and paprika. Make sure the chickpeas are evenly coated with the spices.
- Step 4: Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Step 5: Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Notes
- Store cooled roasted chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- To re-crisp slightly softened chickpeas, reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes.
- Serve these addictive chickpeas as a crunchy topping for salads or a protein-packed snack.
- For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the spice mix before roasting.
