Ingredients

  • 2 x 400 g tins chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C).
  2. Pat the chickpeas completely dry with a clean tea towel. The drier they are, the crispier they get.
  3. Toss the chickpeas with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and cayenne until evenly coated.
  4. Spread them in a single layer on a baking tray.
  5. Roast for 25-30 minutes, shaking the tray halfway through, until deeply golden and crisp.
  6. Let them cool for a few minutes on the tray. They crisp up further as they cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
