How to Make Pan Roasted Cajun Chickpeas
- 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.
- 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).
- Drain and rinse one 15-ounce can of chickpeas thoroughly. Pat them completely dry with a paper towel. This is crucial for crispy chickpeas!
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chickpeas to the flour mixture, gently tossing until they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
- 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.
- Remove the chickpeas from the skillet and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy!
