Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the drained chickpeas thoroughly dry with a clean kitchen towel — the drier they are, the crispier they will roast. Toss them on a rimmed baking sheet with 1 tbsp olive oil, smoked paprika, and 1/4 tsp salt until evenly coated.

Spread the chickpeas in a single layer and roast for 25–30 minutes, shaking the pan once halfway through, until deep golden and crisp on the outside.
