Step-by-step method

  1. 01

    Heat the oven to 200°C. Drain cooked chickpeas, rinse if needed and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.

  2. 02

    Toss chickpeas with oil, paprika, a little salt and pepper. Spread on a tray without piling them up.

  3. 03

    Roast for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway. Watch near the end: they should brown without blackening.

  4. 04

    Let stand on the tray for a few minutes, then serve over vegetables or salad. The texture loses crispness as it waits.

Times are guides: piece size, equipment and products may change them.

Planning detail
Drying and tray space matter as much as time. A double batch often needs a second tray and adjusted monitoring.
