Smoky Paprika Roasted Chickpea Clusters

Cuisine American
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the dried chickpeas in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the chickpeas are evenly coated.
  • Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Keep them close together so they form small clusters as they roast.
  • Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden and crisp on the outside.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the clusters cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Let the chickpeas cool completely on the baking sheet if you want firmer clusters that hold together better. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days and re-crisp them in a 350°F oven for five minutes if they soften.
