Recipe type: Side Dish
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 cans chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans)
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • seasonings (I used smoked paprika, cumin, and pepper)
Instructions
  1. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with foil. Preheat oven to 375.
  2. Drain chickpeas in a colander in the sink and rinse well.
  3. Pat chickpeas dry with a paper towel.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine chickpeas with some olive oil (a few teaspoons), salt to taste, and seasonings of choice. For this batch, I used about 1 tsp. smoked paprika, ¼ tsp. cumin, and ¼ tsp. pepper. You can use any combination of favorite spices!
  5. Pour chickpeas onto prepared baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, then toss to help them cook evenly. Bake another 15 minutes and check again. You want them to be crispy, but watch carefully so they don't burn.
  6. Let cool and enjoy!
  7. You may store leftovers in an airtight container, but they will lose their crispiness once stored.
