Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C (360F) and set out a bare baking sheet (more if needed) or an oven air fryer pan/tray (this is my preferred option, you can find plenty of models on amazon).
  2. Dry the chickpeas
    Drain chickpeas well and spread out on a clean absorbent towel. Gently dry the chickpeas. The less moist the chickpeas are, the crispier they will become! At this point, you can opt to peel them off (personally, I leave the skins on).
  3. Transfer chickpeas to a mixing bowl and toss with salt.
  4. Bake the chickpeas
    Then, transfer to the baking sheet and bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy to the touch.
  5. Toss with spices
    Remove from oven and toss with seasonings while still warm.
  6. How to store
    Keep chickpeas in a storage container or jar at room temperature for up to 4 days. Leave the lid crack open so they can “breathe” and stay crispy for a longer time.
