Ingredients
• 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas (or 1½ cups cooked)
• 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
• ½ tsp fine sea salt (or to taste)
• Optional upgrades: smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, or everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Dry well: Drain, rinse, and pat chickpeas extremely dry with paper towels (crucial for crispness!). Remove loose skins if you like extra crunch.
- Toss chickpeas with oil and salt in a bowl until evenly coated.
- Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30–40 min, shaking pan every 10–12 min, until deep golden and hollow-sounding when tapped.
- Pro tip: Turn off oven, crack the door, and let chickpeas sit inside 10–15 min to crisp even more.
- Cool completely—they’ll harden as they cool! Store in a paper bag or open container (avoid airtight—traps moisture).
