How to Make Chickpea Nuts

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse one (15-ounce) can of chickpeas thoroughly in a colander. Pat them completely dry with a paper towel; this is crucial for achieving maximum crispiness.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure they aren't overcrowded for even cooking.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden brown and incredibly crispy. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet before storing.
