Ingredients
  

2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon ground cumin

¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Optional: fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.

    Prep the Chickpeas: After draining the chickpeas, pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. The drier they are, the crunchier they will become when roasted.

      Make the Coating: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Sriracha, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

        Combine Chickpeas and Sauce: Add the dried chickpeas to the bowl and toss until each chickpea is evenly coated with the spicy mixture.

          Spread on Baking Sheet: Arrange the coated chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they have space between them for even cooking.

            Roast the Chickpeas: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through. Keep a close eye on them towards the end to ensure they don’t burn. They should be golden and crunchy.

              Cool and Serve: Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chickpeas cool for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

                Enjoy: Serve your Crunchy Sriracha Roasted Chickpeas as a snack, salad topping, or party appetizer!
