Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensuring the chickpeas are dry will help them roast better and become crispier.
3. Season the Chickpeas:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, red pepper, and garlic powder.
- Toss everything together until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the spices and oil.
- Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet. It's important that they are in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for 25-30 minutes, stirring or shaking the pan halfway through the cooking time. This ensures that they roast evenly and get crispy on all sides.
6. Cool and Serve:
- Once the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool down slightly before serving.
7. Enjoy:
- Enjoy the roasted paprika and garlic chickpeas as a snack, or add them to salads, soups, or grain bowls for added crunch and flavor.
Tips:
- Rinse and dry the chickpeas thoroughly before roasting. Any moisture can prevent them from getting crispy.
- For extra crunch, remove the chickpea skins by gently rubbing them with a kitchen towel after rinsing.
- Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
- Shake or stir the chickpeas halfway through the roasting process to promote even cooking and prevent burning.
- Adjust the seasoning to your preference; consider adding other spices like cumin or smoked paprika for a different flavor profile.
- Let the chickpeas cool completely before storing in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness.
With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can create these irresistible roasted paprika and garlic chickpeas. They are not only quick and easy to prepare but also incredibly versatile. Enjoy them as a snack, sprinkle them over salads, or include them in your favorite dishes for an added crunch. Happy cooking!
