Roast in the oven for 25–30 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway through, until golden and crunchy.

Note
Experiment with seasonings: curry powder, chili powder, cinnamon & cocoa for a sweet version, or za’atar for a Mediterranean twist. Store cooled chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3–4 days. Perfect as a snack, salad topper, or crunchy addition to bowls and wraps. Pinch of black pepper
