    Author: Easyhealth Living

    Ingredients

    • 15 oz Canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
    • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
    • ¼ teaspoon cumin
    • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
    • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon chili powder
    • 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast (optional)

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
    • Drain and rinse chickpeas and allow to dry on paper towels. Pat chickpeas with paper towel to help remove moisture. This will loosen the clear "skins" on chickpeas-you may discard these if desired.
    • In a medium bowl, add remaining ingredients and stir to combine and form a paste.
    • Add dried chickpeas to bowl and mix well to coat chickpeas with seasoning.
    • Pour chickpeas out onto a foil-lined baking sheet to form one layer.
    • Roast in oven for 15 minutes, then remove and stir chickpeas.
    • Return to oven to roast 15 minutes or until golden and crispy. Watch closely to prevent burning.

      I was wondering how long these keep for (in an airtight container of course).

        Mine were still crunchy after 2 days. If you were planning to keep them a few days, I would try letting them sit in the oven with the door half-open after roasting to allow them to get extra-crunchy as the oven cools down. Hope you enjoy them!

      We really enjoyed these! I had about 3 cups of chickpeas leftover that I had cooked in the instant pot, so I decided to make your recipe (doubled). I put the spices in a gallon ziplock bag, and shook them to mix. Dumped in the chickpeas, and then the olive oil. Shook & massaged them to coat. They came out addictingly tasty! I will be making these again for sure! Thank you for sharing!
