Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Pour chickpeas into a strainer, then rinse them off until all the liquid from the can is gone.
  • Use several paper towels to pat the chickpeas dry. You won't be able to get them completely dry, but partially dry is the goal. Then, pour them into a bowl and add olive oil, cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper and stir to combine.
  • Pour chickpeas out onto a lined baking sheet, then sprinkle additional cajun seasoning on top (1-2 tsp).
  • Bake chickpeas for 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and wait 5 minutes before transferring them to a bowl.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

*Chickpeas are also called garbanzo beans
-Other delicious seasoning options include but are not limited to: garlic herb seasoning or a combination of garlic powder and smoked paprika 
-Make sure to let these chickpeas sit at room temperature for 5 minutes after taking them out of the oven so they crisp up even more. If you plan on storing these, do NOT put a lid on them and store them at room temperature.
