Equipment

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Pat the chickpeas dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel to ensure crispiness.
  • In a large bowl, toss the chickpeas with oil, cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, garam masala, chaat masala, and salt until evenly coated. Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the tray.
  • Roast for 25-30 minutes, shaking the tray halfway through, until golden and crunchy. Let cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight jar.

Notes

  • For the best crunch, peel off loose chickpea skins before roasting. If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse thoroughly.
  • For extra crispiness, after roasting, turn off the oven and let chickpeas sit inside with the door slightly open for 10 minutes.
  • Store cooled roasted chickpeas in an airtight jar at room temperature for up to 3 days.
