👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Thoroughly pat the drained and rinsed chickpeas dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels; this step is crucial for crispiness.
3. In a bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder (if using), salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
4. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
5. Roast for 20-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a snack or a topping for salads and soups.
