Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Dry the rinsed chickpeas thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is key for crispiness.
  3. In a medium bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil until lightly coated.
  4. Spread the oiled chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and shake the pan gently.
  6. Roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chickpeas are golden brown and crunchy. Monitor closely to prevent burning.
  7. In the same bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, and salt.
  8. Immediately transfer the hot roasted chickpeas to the bowl. Toss well to coat evenly with the spices.
  9. Add the lime zest and lime juice. Toss again until everything is mixed through.
  10. Let the chickpeas cool slightly before serving. They will crisp up more as they cool.

Notes

  • Make sure the chickpeas are completely dry before adding oil; excess moisture prevents crisping.
  • You can adjust the chili powder to match your preferred spice level.
  • Store leftovers in a container that is not airtight to maintain crispness.
