For the Chickpeas
  • 1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed

  2. In a bowl, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas with olive oil. Toss until the chickpeas are evenly coated.

  4. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crunchy.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

These chickpeas can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. For added flavor, try experimenting with different spices such as cumin or chili powder. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for a zesty finish!
