Ingredients

  • 15 oz. chickpeas canned
  • 2-3 tsp. tamari
  • 2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp. cumin ground
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper (or Silpat). Set aside.
  2. Rinse and drain chickpeas. Lightly pat them dry on a towel. (Removing excess moisture helps them become crispier.)
  3. Add chickpeas and tamari to a medium bowl. Stir to evenly coat.
  4. Then add the rest of the ingredients - nutritional yeast, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, and garlic powder. Toss to combine.
  5. Spread out the seasoned chickpeas on the baking pan.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes. Stir, then return to oven. Bake for 10-15 more minutes (depending how crispy you prefer them). They'll be soft when they come out of the oven, but become crispy as they cool.

Notes

  • Make it spicy: Add cayenne pepper or ground chipotle powder to taste. (Start small because it's strong!) Smoked paprika can also be added for smoky flavor.
  • Yield: This makes a fairly small batch (about 1.5 cups chickpeas) so double or triple the recipe if desired.
