Crispy Spicy Chickpeas
1 15.5 oz can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp Aleppo or cayenne pepper (optional)
Black pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 450°F and place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven while it preheats (this ensures the chickpeas crisp as soon as they hit the hot pan).
Pat chickpeas dry with paper towel (any residual moisture will cause the chickpeas to steam instead of crisp).
Toss the chickpeas with olive oil, salt and spices.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven, place the chickpeas in an even layer.
Roast chickpeas for 10 minutes, then shake the pan.
Continue baking until chickpeas are golden and crispy, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Allow to cool and serve over hummus or salad.
