How can I make the chickpeas crispier?

Make sure they're completely dry before roasting them. If you want them extra crispy, roast them at 300F for 10 minutes before tossing them with the oil and spices. I like them still a little soft inside and easy to chew, so I don't do that.

Do I need to cook the chickpeas before roasting?

Yes, if you have dry chickpeas, you'll need to cook them until soft first. If you have canned, there's no need to cook them.

Ingredients

Scale

1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375F and prepare a large baking sheet and paper towels.
Drain and rinse your canned chickpeas and spread them on the paper towel, and pat them dry with another one.
Remove the paper towels and line the baking sheet with parchment paper if it isn't nonstick.
Toss the chickpeas with avocado oil and season with fine sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Roast the chickpeas in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Toss them and roast for another 8-10 minutes. I like them still soft in the middle, but you can roast them for 5 extra minutes if you like them extra crispy.
Enjoy warm or cool. Allow them to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

Storing: Store the chickpeas in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. They’ll unfortunately lose their crispiness as they cool. You can reheat them in the oven at 300F if you prefer but I like eating them cold.

How to enjoy: Eat them as a snack on their own, add them to salads instead of croutons or to rice or quinoa bowls for added protein and texture.
