Method
Preheat the oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Proper preheating is crucial for achieving crispy chickpeas.
Prepare the chickpeas
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly using a colander. Spread them out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and gently pat them dry. Removing as much moisture as possible is key to crispiness.
Remove loose skins
- As you dry the chickpeas, some skins may come loose. Remove and discard them, as they can burn during roasting.
Season the chickpeas
- Transfer the dried chickpeas to a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper, salt, chili powder, and turmeric. Toss until all chickpeas are evenly coated.
Arrange on baking sheet
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Roast
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 30–40 minutes. Shake the pan or stir the chickpeas every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Check for crispiness
- Chickpeas should be golden brown, crunchy on the outside, and slightly tender inside. If needed, roast for an additional 5 minutes.
Cool before serving
- Remove from the oven and allow the chickpeas to cool for 5–10 minutes. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
