How to prepare Crispy Baked Chickpeas

Pour the well-drained chickpeas into a bowl, add the flour 1, and mix 2. Add the paprika 3.

Add the rosemary 4, thyme 5, and oregano 6.

Adjust the salt 7 and add a drizzle of oil 8. Mix to evenly coat all the chickpeas 9.

Spread the chickpeas on a baking tray lined with parchment paper so that they do not overlap and are spaced apart 10. Add another drizzle of oil 11 and bake in a preheated oven at 392°F (convection mode) for 30 minutes, shaking the tray a couple of times during cooking to turn them. If they are not golden enough, turn on the grill for 5 minutes. Let your crispy baked chickpeas cool before serving 12!

Storage

We recommend consuming the crispy chickpeas as soon as they are ready. Alternatively, you can store them at room temperature for up to one day in an airtight jar.
