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.
Transfer the dried chickpeas to the baking sheet and toss them with a drizzle of olive oil and spices.
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:
Follow directions for OVEN METHOD to prepare the chickpeas but for the air fryer, there is no need to pat them dry.
Preheat air fryer for about 3 minutes.
In a bowl, gently m ix the oil, spices, and chickpeas until evenly coated.
Add chickpeas to the fryer basket and roast 12-15 minutes, stopping to shake the basked a few times during the cooking process. Adjust the time as needed to achieve your desired crispness.
Notes
These are great as a snack or a crunchy topping for a healthy salad.
