Ingredients

  • ¾ of a standard tin of chickpeas, drained
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
  2. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then pat them dry with kitchen paper.
  3. Toss with the olive oil, smoked paprika and cumin, spread on a baking tray in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes, shaking halfway, until crisp.
  4. Leave to cool on the tray; they crisp up further as they cool.

Making it ahead
