Roasted Chickpeas

can of chickpeas

olive oil

salt and pepper

smoked paprika (optional)

1.  Preheat oven to 450 degrees and place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven while it preheats.  

2.  Drain the rinse a 15.5 oz can of chickpeas.  Then pat very dry with paper towels.  Any residual moisture will cause the chickpeas to steam instead of crisp.

3.  When they're dry, toss the chickpeas with 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1/4 each kosher salt and black pepper.  Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven, place the chickpeas on in an even layer, and return to the oven.  Roast, shaking the pan halfway through, until crispy, 20 to 25 minutes.  Try switching up the seasonings- smoked paprika.
