Spicy roasted chickpeas are a crispy, flavorful snack or topping. They are easy to make and offer a satisfying crunch with a kick.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the chickpeas very dry with a paper towel. This is crucial for crispiness.
  3. In a medium bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt.
  4. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 20-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving. They will become even crispier as they cool.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, remove the skins from the chickpeas after drying them.
  • Adjust the spices to your preference.
  • Store leftover roasted chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
  • These are great as a snack, on salads, or in wraps.
