Crispy Chickpeas

Crispy Chickpeas are a deliciously crunchy snack that offers a satisfying bite with every handful. Seasoned to perfection, they make for a healthy alternative to traditional chips.

Ingredients

• Canned chickpeas - 1 can (400g)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the chickpeas are evenly coated.
4. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6. Remove from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
