Crispy Chickpeas

 

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
• Sea salt
• Paprika, curry powder, or other spices (optional)

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Spread the chickpeas on a kitchen towel and pat them dry. Remove any loose skins.
• Transfer the dried chickpeas to the baking sheet and toss them with a drizzle of olive oil and generous pinches of salt.
• Roast the chickpeas for 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Ovens can vary, if your chickpeas are not crispy enough, keep going until they are!
• Remove from the oven and, while the chickpeas are still warm, toss with pinches of your favorite spices, if using.
• Store roasted chickpeas in a loosely-covered container at room temperature. They are best used within two days.
