# How To Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Pat chickpeas very dry with a clean kitchen towel. The drier the chickpeas, the crispier the final result.
03 - Spread chickpeas on the baking sheet and toss with olive oil until evenly coated.
04 - Bake for 25–30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through cooking, until golden and crispy.
05 - Remove from oven. While still warm, toss with one flavor variation of your choice: Classic Sea Salt, Smoky Paprika, or Spicy Chili Lime.
06 - Return seasoned chickpeas to the oven for an additional 5 minutes if extra crunch is desired.
07 - Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
