Crispy Roasted Chickpeas

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Spread the chickpeas on a kitchen towel and pat them dry. Remove any loose skins.

Step 3

Transfer the dried chickpeas to the baking sheet and toss them with a drizzle of olive oil and generous pinches of salt.

Step 4

Roast the chickpeas for 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Ovens can vary, if your chickpeas are not crispy enough, keep going until they are!

Step 5

Remove from the oven and, while the chickpeas are still warm, toss with pinches of your favorite spices, if using.

Step 6

Store roasted chickpeas in a loosely-covered container at room temperature. They are best used within two days.
