Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt, to taste

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Optional: Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Chickpeas: Pat the rinsed chickpeas dry with a paper towel. Removing excess moisture will help them become crispier.

      Season the Chickpeas: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss well until all chickpeas are evenly coated with the oil and spices.

        Roast the Chickpeas: Spread the seasoned chickpeas evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not crowded. Place in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, shaking the baking sheet halfway through for even crisping. They should achieve a golden brown and crunchy texture.

          Add Lemon Juice: Once roasted, remove the chickpeas from the oven and immediately drizzle with lemon juice for a zesty finish. Toss gently to coat.

            Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for an added touch of flavor and color. Serve warm or allow them to cool and enjoy as a nutritious snack.
