Ingredients
  

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

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper

Optional: A squeeze of fresh lime for serving

Optional: Fresh cilantro, finely chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). To streamline cleanup, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Chickpeas: After draining and rinsing the chickpeas thoroughly, spread them out on a clean kitchen towel or a paper towel. Pat them dry gently to remove as much moisture as possible; this step is crucial for maximizing crispiness.

      Season the Chickpeas: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried chickpeas with olive oil, Sriracha sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss vigorously until every chickpea is thoroughly coated in the flavorful spice mixture.

        Spread on Baking Sheet: Carefully transfer the seasoned chickpeas to the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are spread out in a single layer; this promotes even roasting and prevents steaming, which can make them soggy.

          Roast the Chickpeas: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the chickpeas for 25-30 minutes, stirring or shaking the pan about every 10 minutes. Keep a close watch to avoid burning. They are finished when they turn golden brown and develop a satisfying crunch.

            Cool Down: Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the chickpeas cool on the sheet for a few minutes; they will continue to harden as they cool.

              Serve: Serve the roasted chickpeas warm as a delicious snack. For added freshness, sprinkle with chopped cilantro and drizzle with a squeeze of lime juice just before enjoying.
