Instructions

Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Pour the chickpeas on a clean, dry kitchen towel. Rub vigorously until dried and the paper skins start to fall off (It is not required to remove all skins, but roasted chickpeas taste better if you do).
Transfer chickpeas to a medium bowl. Add olive oil, salt, and spices and toss to coat. Pour on to prepared baking sheet.
Bake until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy, dry on the outside but soft on the inside, about 20 to 30 minutes. Stir or shake the baking sheet every 10 minutes.
Serve warm or cool completely before storing in an air-tight container. Once cooled, the chickpeas will go from crispy to chewy, but they will still be deliciously addictive!

Notes

Herbs and spices: I love to use a combination of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, and cayenne pepper on my chickpeas. If seasoning with dry spices, add them before roasting the chickpeas. If using fresh herbs, add them after roasting (so they don't scorch).
Yield: This recipe makes about 4 cups of roasted chickpeas, enough for 8 servings, 1/2 cup each.
Storage: Store covered in an airtight container (with a piece of paper towel to absorb any moisture) for up to 2 weeks.
