Crispy Chickpeas

Oven roasted crispy chickpeas are about as simple as it gets… toss with olive oil & spices, roast, cool and eat! Great as a topping for curry, soup, salads or simply a delicious snack.

Ingredients

• 19oz (540ml) can of chickpeas
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then remove the skins and place on a clean kitchen towel. Let dry thoroughly.

Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400°F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil. Alternatively use a lightly oiled oven proof skillet.

Once dry, transfer the chickpeas to the prepared baking sheet/skillet, then toss well with olive oil and spices.

Bake until the chickpeas are crunchy, 35 – 45 minutes. Shake the baking sheet/skillet every 10 minutes.

Let cool at least 1 hour.

Crispy chickpeas were used as a topping on my Roasted Vegetable Curry recipe.
