Crunchy, satisfying, and portable. A high-fiber snack that scratches the chip craving without any downsides.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder

¼ tsp salt

  • Optional spice combos: cinnamon+cayenne, Italian herbs+garlic, ranch seasoning

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  1. Thoroughly dry chickpeas with paper towels — dry = crispy.
  2. Toss with olive oil and spices.

Spread in single layer on a baking sheet.

  1. Roast 25–30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through.

They’re done when golden and crispy throughout.

  1. Cool completely before storing — they crisp up more as they cool.

Notes

Store in a paper bag or loosely covered container — an airtight container causes them to soften. Eat within 3 days for maximum crunchiness. Make a double batch and use as salad toppings all week.
