Crispy Chickpeas

https://www.loveandlemons.com/roasted-chickpeas/ 

Easiest recipe ever.  Really good - almost tastes ~ potato inside.  Might add more spices on the outside next time - Everything bagel seasoning sounds like a winner.  This time, I just used oil and salt I think. 

• Eat them fast! Roasted chickpeas are best day-of, and they lose their crispiness as time goes on. I aim to finish up a batch by the second day for best texture and flavor.
• Store them at room temperature. Don’t refrigerate these guys. They become chewy quickly! I recommend leaving them in a bowl or jar on the counter, loosely covered with a piece of foil.
• Spice them up! I like to toss my chickpeas with spices right as they come out of the oven. Try using a dash of paprika or your favorite spice mix. Chili, curry, or shawarma spices would all be great here. They’re also delicious with Everything Bagel Seasoning!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
• Sea salt
• Paprika, curry powder, or other spices (optional)

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Spread the chickpeas on a kitchen towel and pat them dry. Remove any loose skins.
• Transfer the dried chickpeas to the baking sheet and toss them with a drizzle of olive oil and generous pinches of salt.
• Roast the chickpeas for 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Ovens can vary, if your chickpeas are not crispy enough, keep going until they are!
• Remove from the oven and, while the chickpeas are still warm, toss with pinches of your favorite spices, if using.
• Store roasted chickpeas in a loosely-covered container at room temperature. They are best used within two days.
