Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Drain and rinse chickpeas, then pat dry thoroughly.

Toss chickpeas with olive oil until evenly coated.

Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Roast for 30–40 minutes, shaking pan halfway.

Remove from oven and immediately toss with seasonings.

Cool completely before storing.

For extra crispness, let chickpeas air-dry 30 minutes before roasting.

Store in a paper bag or container with airflow to maintain crunch.
