Ingredients
- 15 oz. can chickpeas
- 2-3 tsp. tamari
- 2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp. onion powder
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper (or Silpat). Set aside.
- Rinse and drain chickpeas. Lightly pat them dry on a towel. (Removing excess moisture helps them become crispier.)
- Add chickpeas and tamari to a medium bowl. Stir to evenly coat.
- Then add the rest of the ingredients - nutritional yeast, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, and garlic powder. Toss to combine.
- Spread out the seasoned chickpeas on the baking pan.
- 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.
Cup of Yum
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.
