Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to spice preference)

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional for cheesy flavor)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare Chickpeas: After rinsing the chickpeas, spread them out onto a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Pat them dry to remove excess moisture – this will help them get crispy during roasting.

      Season Chickpeas: In a mixing bowl, combine the dried chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and nutritional yeast (if using). Toss until all chickpeas are well coated with the seasoning.

        Roast: Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded for even roasting.

          Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even crispiness. Keep an eye on them towards the end to ensure they don't burn. They should turn golden brown and crunchy.

            Cool and Store: Once they are done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before enjoying. They will continue to crisp up as they cool. Snack immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
