Step-by-Step Instructions for Super Crunchy Roasted Chickpeas
  1. Soak 1 cup of dried chickpeas in plenty of water overnight, then drain, rinse, and cook in boiling water until tender, about 60 to 90 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the perfect crunch.
  3. Toss cooked chickpeas with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika in a large bowl until evenly coated.
  4. Spread chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for about 25 minutes until golden brown and crispy, shaking halfway through.
  5. Once roasted, leave chickpeas in the oven for an extra 5-10 minutes after turning off the heat to enhance crunchiness.
