Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

  • Optional: pinch of cayenne pepper for heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  5. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until chickpeas are crispy and corn is slightly charred.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.

For extra flavor, sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro or a squeeze of lime before serving.
