Ingredients

15 ounce chickpeas cooked, rinsed, drained, dried, peeled
1 tablespoon olive oil

Seasoning –

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons Paprika
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 F
If you have an Instant Pot (pressure cooker), use Instant pot chickpeas to turn dried chickpeas into perfectly cooked beans in under 60 minutes (no overnight soaking required).
Drain the chickpeas, and let them cool a bit.
Pat dry chickpeas using a kitchen towel. Gently press and rub the beans, some of the skin will come off.
Remove the papery skin on the chickpeas by pressing it between your fingers. You can speed up the process by rubbing a couple of them together between palms. A gentle press should remove the skin. This step is optional.
Transfer all peeled chickpeas into a bowl. Pour olive oil on top. Add spice seasoning and sea salt.
Mix well to coat the chickpeas in the seasoning.
Transfer to a baking tray (preferably lined with parchment paper), and spread it in a single layer.
Roast in a preheated oven at 400F for about 35-40 minutes or until chickpeas are crispy.
Once roasting is done, crack open over door slightly and leave the chickpeas inside for about 15 minutes. As the chickpeas sit in the oven, they turn to get more crunchier.
Tastes best when served immediately.

Notes

1. Dry chickpeas. Drain well and pat dry using a kitchen towel to remove all moisture. This will help in making crispy chickpeas.
2. Peel the skin. This step is optional, a tedious job but so worth it. If you want the crispiest chickpeas peel the skin off.
3. Roast in one layer. Ensure chickpeas aren't overlapping.
4. Crack open the oven door. This is a very useful tip. Once roasting time is done, crack open over door slightly and leave chickpeas inside the oven for about 15 minutes. As the chickpeas sit in the oven they will turn get more crunchier.
