A delightful snack of roasted chickpeas seasoned with aromatic spices, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking and crispiness.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas thoroughly. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel.
Removing excess moisture helps achieve a crispy texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, olive oil, garam masala, smoked paprika, and sea salt. Mix well to coat evenly.
Ensure all chickpeas are evenly coated with the seasoning for consistent flavor.
Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Using a single layer prevents steaming and promotes crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are golden and crispy.
Stirring occasionally ensures even baking and prevents burning.
Allow the chickpeas to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
Cooling slightly enhances the crunchiness of the chickpeas.
