Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons BBQ seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the rinsed chickpeas very dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. This is key for crispiness!
  3. Remove any loose skins from the chickpeas.
  4. In a medium bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil until evenly coated.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
  6. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chickpeas and toss to coat them well.
  7. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  8. Roast for 20-30 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove from the oven and immediately toss with the BBQ seasoning while they are still warm.
  10. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crispier as they cool.

Notes

  • For an extra crispy texture, you can roast them for a few extra minutes, but watch them carefully to prevent burning.
  • Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking. Other seasonings like cumin or chili powder work well.
  • Store any leftover roasted chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
