- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, if you like it hot!)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Shake the pan halfway through for even cooking.
- Let cool slightly before enjoying.
Recipe Notes:
- Adjust the spice: Customize the heat level to your preference. Add extra cayenne, red pepper flakes, or your favorite hot sauce.
- Flavor variations: Try a sprinkle of curry powder, Italian seasoning, or a pinch of chili powder.
- Storage: Store roasted chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
