Step 1

Preheat oven to 375° F. Drain and rinse chickpeas, then pat dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Arrange chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes, shaking the pan every ten minutes. They will be golden brown and crunchy on the inside when done, not moist. Watch carefully so they don't burn.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the salt and garlic powder.

Step 4

Remove chickpeas from the oven when done and toss with 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil. Immediately toss with seasoning while hot.

Step 5

Cool before serving.
