How to Make Roasted Ceci

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse and drain 1 (15-ounce) can of chickpeas thoroughly.
  3. Pat the chickpeas completely dry with a clean kitchen towel. This is crucial for achieving maximum crispiness.
  4. Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  5. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the chickpeas and toss gently to coat evenly using your hands.
  6. Roast for 40 minutes, shaking the pan every 10-12 minutes to ensure even browning and crispness.
  7. Increase oven temperature to 275°F (135°C).
  8. Continue roasting for another 1-1.5 hours, or until the chickpeas reach your desired level of crispiness.
  9. Remove from oven and sprinkle generously with sea salt to taste.
  10. Let the chickpeas cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. This allows them to crisp up further.
  11. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
