Crispy Roasted Chickpeas

Crispy Roasted Chickpeas

The ultimate healthy crunchy snack — crispy, spiced chickpeas that satisfy like potato chips but pack 9g of protein and 8g of fiber per serving. Make a big batch and keep them in your desk drawer.

Ingredients

• 1 can (15oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1/4 tsp salt
• Optional: 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper for heat

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Dry chickpeas thoroughly with paper towels — the drier they are, the crispier they’ll get. Remove any loose skins.

3. Toss chickpeas with olive oil and all spices until evenly coated.

4. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

5. Roast for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden and crispy.

6. Cool for 5-10 minutes — they crisp up further as they cool.
