Crunchy seasoned chickpea snack

Ingredients:

• 500 g cooked chickpeas (you can also use thawed frozen ones)

• 6 tbsp olive oil

• 4 tbsp sweet paprika (or hot paprika, to taste)

• 1 tsp cumin

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 crushed garlic clove

• Chili flakes – to taste (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan is recommended).

2. Drain the chickpeas really well – the drier they are, the crispier they’ll get.

3. In a bowl, mix the chickpeas with all the other ingredients until evenly coated.

4. Spread them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper – in a single layer, without overlap.

5. Roast for about 20 minutes, until the chickpeas are golden, crispy, and pop a little in your mouth. You can stir once halfway through.

6. Let them cool. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 4–5 days. If they lose crispiness, a short reheat in the oven will bring them back.

7. To serve – squeeze some fresh lemon juice on top for a refreshing twist.

Enjoy!
