Ingredients

2 15 oz. cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder *use less for less heat
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Drain your chickpeas and then lay them flat on top of a few paper towels. Place a few more paper towels over top and lightly roll the paper towel on top to dry the chickpeas as much as possible. Discard of any peels.
Add your PLAIN unseasoned chickpeas to a parchment paper lined baking tray and bake for 45 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare your spice blend by mixing the spices in a small bowl.
After 45 minutes, take out your chickpeas and drizzle over top 2 TB olive oil along with the spice mixture. Using your hand, roll the chickpeas around so the spices stick to each chickpea.
Bake for another 8-10 minutes on the middle rack until crisp and dry.
Let the chickpeas cool completely on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes. Store in a container or plastic bag.

Notes

To ensure you have extra crispy chickpeas, make sure you dry them as much as possible before baking. If you have time, let them sit on the counter to air dry for 15-30 minutes before roasting.

Store your chickpeas in a sealed container for 5-7 days. Do not store in the fridge.
