Roasted Chickpeas

Ingredients

  • 2 tins chickpeas, drained and dried
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Pinch of cayenne

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Pat chickpeas completely dry with kitchen paper.
  2. Toss with olive oil and all spices.
  3. Spread in a single layer on a baking tray.
  4. Roast 35–40 minutes until golden and crunchy, shaking halfway.
  5. Cool completely before eating — they crisp up further as they cool.
