Steps

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Spread the seasoned chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until crispy, shaking the pan halfway through.
Let cool before enjoying!

Tips for Crunchy Chickpea Snack

Look for a dry, lightly blistered surface; chickpeas may crisp further as they cool.
Crowding traps steam and can leave the centers soft, so use a roomy baking sheet.
For the crunchiest texture, serve soon after cooling rather than covering them while warm.

Drink pairing

Storage

Cool completely, then store in a loosely covered container at room temperature for up to 2 days; they may soften over time. Avoid sealing them while warm.
