Method ⏲️
Snack time, sorted. Just toss, roast, and crunch.
Step 1: Oven prep
Preheat your oven to 200 °C and line a tray with baking paper.
Step 2: Dry the Chickpeas
Tip out the liquid and pat 420 g chickpeas dry with paper towel. The drier they are, the crispier they’ll be in the oven.
Step 3: Season
In a mixing bowl, toss the chickpeas with 2 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and 1 tsp salt until evenly coated.
Step 4: Roast
Spread on a lined baking tray and roast at 200 °C for 20–25 minutes, gently shaking halfway, until golden and crispy.
Enjoy as is, or sprinkle 1 tsp brown sugar for a sweet and salty combo.
