How to Make Pan Roasted Cajun Chickpeas

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour with 2-3 teaspoons of the Cajun spice mixture (adjust to your spice preference).
  3. Drain and rinse one 15-ounce can of chickpeas thoroughly. Pat them completely dry with a paper towel. This is crucial for crispy chickpeas!
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the chickpeas to the flour mixture, gently tossing until they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
  6. Cook the chickpeas in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Shake the pan occasionally for even browning. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove the chickpeas from the skillet and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy!
