Ingredients:

  • 1 can (15 oz / 425g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) sea salt
  • 1 tsp (2g) smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp (0.5g) black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp (0.5g) cayenne pepper

Instructions:

  1. Rinse the chickpeas under cold water until the foam disappears.
  2. Spread the chickpeas onto a clean kitchen towel and rub them vigorously to remove loose skins and ensure they are completely dry.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) or your air fryer to 390°F (198°C).
  4. Toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil in a large mixing bowl until shimmering.
  5. Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in an air fryer basket.
  6. Roast for 20 minutes in the oven, shaking the pan halfway through, or 12-15 minutes in the air fryer, shaking every 5 minutes, until golden-brown and nutty.
  7. Immediately remove from heat and toss the hot chickpeas in a bowl with the sea salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
