Set to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Spread chickpeas on a paper towel and pat them dry thoroughly. The drier they are, the crispier they’ll get!
03 -
In a bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne (if using).
04 -
Spread chickpeas in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.

Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving—they’ll crisp up even more as they cool!
