    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
    • ½ teaspoon pepper
    • ½ teaspoon paprika
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
    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.

    Make ahead and store in an airtight container.

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

    Hope you enjoy this recipe! I would love to hear your feedback in the “comment box” below!

    Have a delicious day! James (aka Zimmy)
