Main Ingredients
- 2 15–oz cans Chickpeas (drained, rinsed, and patted dry)
- 2 tbsp Avocado oil
- 1/4 cup Chipotles in adobo (pureed; optional)
- 1 tsp Cumin (optional)
- 1 tsp Sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
- Prepare the chickpeas: In a large bowl, toss the chickpeas with avocado oil, chipotle in adobo puree, ground cumin, and sea salt. Note that the chipotle puree and cumin are optional. If you only have whole chipotles in adobo, puree them using a blender or food processor before mixing.
- Spread on a baking sheet: Spread the coated chickpeas in a single layer on a large baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
- Roast the chickpeas: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes. Shake the pan a few times during roasting to ensure the chickpeas cook evenly until they are crispy.
- Cool the chickpeas: Allow the roasted chickpeas to cool completely. They will become even crispier as they cool down.
- Store the chickpeas: Transfer the finished chickpeas into a glass jar or an airtight container for storage.
Notes
- Rinse and dry the chickpeas thoroughly before roasting to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Adjust seasoning according to your taste preferences; try other spices like paprika or garlic powder for variation.
- Use a large baking sheet to avoid overcrowding, promoting even roasting.
- Store roasted chickpeas at room temperature in an airtight container to preserve their crunch.
