PREPARATION

These steps are followed for the preparation of Spicy Roasted Chickpeas:

  • Preheat oven: Set the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Dry the chickpeas: Pat the drained chickpeas dry using a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. This helps them to get extra crispy.
  • Season: In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder and salt. Mix well to coat evenly.
  • Roast: Spread the seasoned chickpeas evenly on the prepared baking tray.
  • Bake: Roast for 20-25 minutes, shaking the tray halfway through for even cooking.
  • Cool and crisp: Let them cool for 5 minutes to crisp up before serving.

PREP TIME

 

5 minutes

COOKING TIME

 

20-25 minutes

TIPS

 

  • Extra crispy chickpeas: Bake them for an additional 5 minutes, but keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  • Avoid soggy chickpeas: Ensure they are completely dry before seasoning and roasting.
  • More flavour: Add fresh lemon zest after roasting for a zesty kick.
  • Spicier version: Increase cayenne pepper or add a pinch of chilli flakes.

VARIATIONS

 

  • Sweet and Spicy: Add a drizzle of maple syrup before roasting for a caramelised touch.
  • Smoky BBQ: Mix in smoked paprika and a pinch of brown sugar.
  • Herb-Infused: Toss with dried oregano, rosemary or thyme for an aromatic version.
  • Cheesy Twist: Sprinkle with nutritional yeast after roasting for a cheesy, umami boost.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

 

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Avoid moisture: Do not refrigerate, as it will make them soft.
  • Reheating: To re-crisp, bake in a 175°C (350°F) oven for 5 minutes.
