- 500 gram chickpeas boiled, rinsed and drained
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 teaspoons Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds sauted and grounded
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
Preheat the oven to 425° and drain and rinse your chickpeas.
Spread the chickpeas on a kitchen towel and gently pat them dry. It’s essential to make sure they’re totally dry before you toss them with the olive oil – damp chickpeas won’t crisp up in the oven. Discard any loose skins from the outside of the chickpeas.
Transfer the chickpeas to a parchment-lined baking sheet and toss them with a drizzle of olive oil and generous pinches of sea salt. Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
Transfer the baking sheet to your preheated oven and roast until crispy. I start checking at 20 minutes, but it can take up t0 30 minutes for them to become really crisp.
Remove from the oven and, while the chickpeas are still warm, toss with pinches of your favorite spices.
