Ingredients

2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas, drained, rinsed and patted very dry
3 tbsp Rustic Ember Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp kosher salt
Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

Directions

Heat the oven to 425°F. Dry the chickpeas well with a towel and pull off any loose skins. Dry chickpeas are crisp chickpeas.
Toss the chickpeas with 2 tbsp of the olive oil and the salt. Spread them in a single layer on a sheet pan.
Roast 25 to 30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway, until deep golden and crisp.
Toss the hot chickpeas with the smoked paprika, garlic powder and the last 1 tbsp of olive oil.
Zest the lemon over the top if using. Let them cool 5 minutes; they keep crisping as they cool.
