Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Chickpeas (drained, rinsed) 2 cans (15 oz each)
Avocado Oil for drizzling
Sea Salt generous pinch
Paprika, Curry Powder, or Other Spices (optional) pinch

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  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 and toss with a drizzle of avocado oil and generous pinches of salt.
  4. Roast the chickpeas for 45 minutes, shaking the pan every 15 minutes, until golden brown and crisp. Ovens can vary — if your chickpeas are not crispy enough, keep going until they are.
  5. Remove from the oven and, while the chickpeas are still warm, toss with pinches of your favorite spices, if using.
  6. Store roasted chickpeas in a loosely-covered container at room temperature. They are best used within two days.
