Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans low-sodium chickpeas 15 oz each; drained and rinsed well
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more for topping
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Spread them onto a dry kitchen towel and pat them dry with a paper towel. Transfer the chickpeas to the baking sheet and spread them out. Let them sit on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes to dry further.
  3. Combine chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; mix well. Drizzle olive oil over the chickpeas and toss to coat. Sprinkle in the seasoning mix and toss again to coat all chickpeas evenly.
  4. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing and shaking the pan every 10 minutes to ensure even browning.
  5. Remove the cooked chickpeas from the oven. Allow them to cool on the pan for 5-10 minutes. Serve hot with a sprinkle of sea salt. Refer to the post for additional serving suggestions.

Notes

Spice Variation: I love playing with the seasoning here; sometimes I'll swap out the chili powder for smoked paprika and a pinch of cayenne when I want a deeper, spicier kick.
