Ingredients
- 15 ounces (1 can) chickpeas, drained
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Begin the recipe by preheating the oven to 400 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. Drain and dry the 1-15 ounce can of chickpeas with a kitchen towel or paper towel and add them to a small bowl.
- To the small bowl with the drained and dried chickpeas, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Stir until the chickpeas are evenly coated.
- Pour the seasoned chickpeas onto the prepared baking sheet and spread them out into a single even layer. Be sure to space them out well on the baking sheet.
- Place into the oven and allow them to bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden and crispy on the outside. Carefully remove from the oven and pour into a bowl to serve as a snack, on top of a salad, or in a gyro. Enjoy!
- These spicy chickpeas are best served the same day they are prepared, but feel free to store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
