This easy recipe turns a can of chickpeas into a crispy, snackable dish. You'll be shocked at how wonderfully crunchy they become! Cooking them longer at a lower temperature makes them crisp up beautifully without burning and becoming bitter.

You can get creative with the seasoning: garlic powder, paprika, and oregano are all great additions too.

Ingredients

2 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 to 2 teaspoons smoked sea salt

Instructions

Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
Put the chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel or several paper towels and dry thoroughly. In a medium bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil to coat. Sprinkle with the smoked salt and toss again. Transfer in an even layer to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake, shaking the pan halfway through the baking time, until the chickpeas are crunchy, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool at least 1 hour; the chickpeas will become crunchier as they cool. These are best eaten within 1 day.
