Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
  2. Spread the chickpeas on a kitchen towel and pat them dry. Remove any loose skins.
  3. Transfer the dried chickpeas to the baking sheet. Drizzle with avocado oil and toss until evenly coated. Season with generous pinches of salt.
  4. Roast the chickpeas at 400ºF for 20 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through.
  5. Reduce the oven temperature to 350ºF. Continue roasting, shaking the pan every 10 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.2
  6. Remove from the oven and, while the chickpeas are still warm, toss with pinches of your favorite spices, if using.
  7. Store roasted chickpeas in a loosely-covered container at room temperature. They are best used within two days.
