Equipment
- oven
- rimmed baking sheet
Ingredients
- 13.5 oz chickpeas rinsed and drained
- 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- ⅛ tsp sea salt, unrefined
- ⅛ tsp cumin ground
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss rinsed and dried chickpeas with olive oil until well coated.
- Place chickpeas on a baking sheet and bake 15 minutes.
- Remove chickpeas from oven and sprinkle with spices. Return to oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until desired crispiness is reached.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before eating.
Notes
- Baked chickpeas are best when they are fresh from the oven. They can be made ahead of time but will lose some of their crispiness as they sit.
- Omit the cayenne pepper for a less-spicy snack.
- Swap olive oil with avocado oil.
- For the crispiest result, make sure the chickpeas are completely covered in the oil before baking, so they evenly crisp throughout.
