Using a strainer drain and rinse the chickpeas underwater.

Lay your chickpeas on a kitchen towel and pat lightly to dry, discard any skins that may fall off the chickpeas. Make sure your chickpeas airdry completely.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking oil. (my favorite is avocado oil)

Spread the chickpeas out evenly over the baking sheet.

Cook the chickpeas for 20-30 minutes stirring every 10 mins until golden brown.

While chickpeas are roasting make your spice mixture by combining spice ingredients in a small bowl, then set aside.

Add the spice mixture and toss to coat your chickpeas.

Serve immediately!

You can store your chickpeas in an airtight container but note that the texture will become chewier and less crispy as the chickpeas sit.
