Servings: 3 servings
Calories: 172kcal
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.
