Equipment
- Parchment Paper
- Baking Sheets
Ingredients
- 1 Large Can Chickpeas / Garbanzo Beans
- Olive Oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Seasonings Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Smoked Paprika, etc
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F, Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Drain chickpeas well – shake the strainer a few times to get rid of any extra water.
- Transfer chickpeas to a clean baking sheet. I like to use a few sheets of paper towel to roll that beans around on the pan, removing as much remaining surface moisture as possible – this will result in a crispier final product.
- Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the chickpeas – I use about 1 Tbsp.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper, and whatever seasonings you'd like* over it all.
- Stir it up a bit, to evenly coat the beans with olive oil and seasonings.
- Roast for about 15 minutes. Remove from oven, stir well. Return pan to the oven to roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until beans are as crunchy as you want them. Serve hot!
Notes
* Salt and pepper are a great way to give some basic flavor to the beans, but feel free to mix it up a bit.
Try curry powder, chili powder, dill… anything you’d like!
Also works really well with flavored/infused olive oils.
