Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
If using canned chickpeas, drain them in a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold running water. If using cooked chickpeas, ensure they are drained well. Pat the chickpeas dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Removing excess moisture will help them roast and crisp up nicely.
In a large bowl, combine the dried chickpeas, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and olive oil. Toss everything together until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the seasonings and oil.
Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet. For the best results, use a sheet large enough to prevent overcrowding; this ensures that the chickpeas roast evenly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the chickpeas for 20-30 minutes, shaking or stirring them halfway through the cooking time. This helps them cook evenly and prevents burning. The chickpeas should be golden brown and crispy.
Once roasted, remove the chickpeas from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Enjoy your smoky roasted garlic chickpeas as a snack, salad topping, or crunchy addition to any dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips:
- Make sure the chickpeas are completely dry before tossing them in the seasoning to ensure maximum crispiness.
- For added flavor, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or some grated Parmesan cheese.
- Spread the chickpeas out in a single layer on the baking sheet to allow for even roasting.
- Stir the chickpeas halfway through the baking time to ensure they are evenly roasted on all sides.
Your smoky roasted garlic chickpeas are now ready to enjoy! These flavorful and crispy chickpeas make a perfect snack or topping for salads and bowls. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness. Bon appétit!
