Crispy, savory, and incredibly addictive, these oven-roasted chickpeas are the perfect healthy snack. Seasoned with smoked paprika and garlic, they're baked to golden perfection in under 35 minutes, offering a satisfying crunch with every bite.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water. Spread them on a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels. Pat them completely dry. For extra crispiness, let them air-dry for 20-30 minutes. Gently rub them between the towels to remove any loose skins; discard the skins.
In a medium bowl, toss the completely dry chickpeas with olive oil until they are evenly coated. Sprinkle the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the chickpeas and toss again until well-seasoned.
Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting. Roast for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan at the 10-minute mark to ensure even cooking. They are done when golden brown, slightly shrunken, and feel dry and firm to the touch.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chickpeas cool on the sheet for at least 10 minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool. Serve immediately for the best texture.
