Crunchy baked chickpeas with smoky, classic, or spicy chili lime flavors for snacking or topping dishes.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Base
01 - 2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Classic Sea Salt
03 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
→ Smoky Paprika
04 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
06 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

→ Spicy Chili Lime
08 - 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
09 - Zest of 1 lime
10 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
11 - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
# Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Pat chickpeas very dry with a clean kitchen towel until completely moisture-free for maximum crispiness.
03 - Spread chickpeas on the prepared baking sheet and toss evenly with olive oil.
04 - Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden and crispy.
05 - Remove from oven. While still warm, toss with your chosen flavor variation: Classic Sea Salt (sprinkle and toss), Smoky Paprika (combine all spices and toss), or Spicy Chili Lime (mix chili powder, lime zest, cayenne, and salt, then toss).
06 - Return seasoned chickpeas to the oven for an additional 5 minutes if extra crunch is desired.
07 - Cool chickpeas completely before transferring to an airtight container for storage.
