Ingredients
1 15-oz. can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 tsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
salt + pepper
tiny pinch cayenne
Instructions
After rinsing your chickpeas, dry them very well. I let mine sit out on a paper towel for a couple of hours. You can also remove the skins from the chickpeas. It’s tedious for sure, but removing the skins seriously does make these so much crunchier. Rubbing them between some paper towels works well!
Once your chickpeas are virtually dry, preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
Place chickpeas in a medium bowl. Pour olive oil over top, and toss to coat. Season with nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Mix to combine.
Pour seasoned chickpeas directly onto a baking sheet, and bake for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, toss the chickpeas and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chickpeas are golden and crunchy. The chickpeas will harden a bit after you remove them from the oven.
Store in an air-tight container.
