Key equipment

Ingredients 

  • 400 g 1 x can of chickpeas drained and dried. Once drained should give about 230-240g chickpeas
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1½ tsp smoked paprika See NOTES
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ¾ tsp ground coriander
  • ½ to 1 tsp garlic powder optional
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt

Instructions

  • Thoroughly drain the chickpeas using a sieve (save the aquafaba (water from the chickpea can) for cooking egg free/vegan bakes if you wish).
  • Rinse the drained chickpeas thoroughly with cold water and then dry them well on/with absorbent kitchen paper towels.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 C/400 F/Gas 6.
  • Put the chickpeas in a small saucepan and add the oil. Stir thoroughly to ensure the chickpeas are evenly coated with the oil.
  • Add the spices, garlic (if using) and salt. Stir again until the spices coat the chickpeas well.
  • Place the saucepan over a medium heat and (once hot and lightly sizzling) gently fry for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring very frequently so that the spices don't burn.
  • Take the pan off the heat and transfer the chickpeas to a baking tray, spreading evenly (you can line the tray with baking paper if you wish).
  • Place the tray into the hot oven and bake for 25 minutes, stirring the chickpeas half way through.
  • After 25 minutes, turn the oven off and open the door for a couple of minutes to cool the oven’s harsh heat slightly, but do not remove the chickpeas.
  • Shut the oven door and leave the chickpeas on the tray to cool inside the cooling oven for at least a further 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and if there is still any warmth in the chickpeas, leave to cool completely on the tray, before transferring to a bowl or container.

Notes

* Note: nutritional information is an estimate & may vary according to portion size/ingredient variants.
