Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Pat chickpeas dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps them crisp up.
3. Toss chickpeas in a bowl with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and any optional spices.
4. Spread chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Bake for 25–30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden and crispy.
6. Cool slightly before serving. They’ll crisp up more as they cool.
