Spiced Roasted Chickpeas

Crunchy oven-roasted chickpeas tossed in smoky spices for a high-protein snack that beats any bag of chips.

• 2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper

Method

1. Heat the oven to 200C (400F) and line a baking tray with parchment.
2. Pat the chickpeas very dry with a towel, removing any loose skins for maximum crunch.
3. Toss the chickpeas with olive oil until coated, then spread in a single layer on the tray.
4. Roast for 25 minutes, shaking the tray halfway through.
5. Combine the paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt and cayenne. Toss the hot chickpeas in the spice mix and roast 5-10 minutes more until crisp. Cool before serving.
