Ingredients (serves 2)

  • Chickpeas, cooked / tinned240 g
  • Rapeseed / sunflower oil5 g

Also: Smoked paprika, salt

Method

  1. Turn the oven on to 200 °C to heat up (about 10 min). Rinse the chickpeas (240 g) in a colander and dry them thoroughly with a clean tea towel.
  2. In a bowl, mix the chickpeas with 1 tsp oil (5 g), smoked paprika and a little salt.
  3. Spread them in a single layer on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Roast in the oven at 200 °C for 25 min, stirring halfway, until crunchy and golden.
  4. Let them cool on the tray for 5 min – they'll crisp up even more as they cool.

Tips

  • Dry the chickpeas really well – otherwise they won't go crunchy.
  • They're crunchiest on the first day; keep them in an open container.
  • Want it hotter? More chilli or cayenne pepper before roasting.
  • Want it milder? Instead of chilli – just smoked paprika and salt.
