Jazz up your snacking routine with this straightforward recipe for delightfully crisp and satisfyingly salty chickpeas. Tossed with olive oil and roasted to crispy perfection, these chickpeas are both a healthy and tasty snack.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature is more appropriate to gain the desired crunchiness of chickpeas without burning them.
2
Thoroughly drain the Chickpeas and rinse under cold water for better texture and taste.
3
After rinsing, dry the chickpeas using a clean kitchen towel. This will help them bake more evenly in the oven.
4
Toss the chickpeas in a bowl with extra virgin olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Make sure each chickpea is evenly coated for a balanced flavor.
5
Spread the chickpeas out on a baking sheet, ensuring they don't overlap for a thorough bake.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until golden and crunchy, shaking the baking sheet halfway through to ensure even baking.
7
Allow the chickpeas to cool on the baking sheet as they'll continue to crisp up as they cool down. Serve them as your healthy snack.
