1
Preheat your oven to 400°F
2
Rinse the canned chickpeas under water and strain using a colander.
3
Use a clean dish towel to thoroughly pat dry the chickpeas. Ensure they are as dry as possible for the best crispiness.
4
If time allows, leave the chickpeas to air-dry for a few more minutes.
5
In a bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil and salt until they are lightly coated.
6
Arrange the chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
7
Place the baking sheet on the center rack of the oven, roast for 20-25 minutes until chickpeas are crispy outside and soft in the middle.
8
Remember to stir or shake the pan at the 10-minute mark to ensure an even roast.
9
While chickpeas are still hot, transfer them to a bowl and stir in the spices: ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground turmeric, cayenne pepper and lemon zest. Mix well using a spoon. Be careful as turmeric may stain.

Serve while warm for a crispy delight or let them cool for a pleasant nutty chewiness.
