Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the chickpeas thoroughly dry with paper towels, then spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with the cumin, smoked paprika, and 1/4 tsp salt. Toss to coat evenly.

Roast the chickpeas on the center rack for 25–30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until deep golden and crisp to the touch. Set aside to cool slightly on the pan — they will continue to crisp as they cool.
