Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the rinsed and drained chickpeas very dry with a paper towel. This is key for crispiness.
- In a bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Make sure they are evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crunchy.
- Remove from the oven and immediately toss with lime zest and lime juice.
- Let them cool slightly before enjoying.
Notes
- For extra crunch, you can air fry the chickpeas.
- Adjust the chili powder and cayenne pepper to your spice preference.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, though they are best enjoyed fresh.
