1 tsp garlic powder
-
¼-½ tsp ground cumin
Directions
- OVEN METHOD:
- Preheat oven to 400° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
Spread chickpeas on a kitchen towel or paper towels and pat them dry (this is particularly important when oven roasting). Remove any loose skins

Roast chickpeas for 20 minutes or until crispy. Ovens can vary. If your chickpeas are not crisp, continue to roast until they are
- AIR FRYER METHOD:
