Crispy Pimenton Chickpeas
Makes 4 cups
These addictive chickpeas make for great party food. Put them out in bowls, and let your guests graze, or use them to top Spanish Rice!
Ingredients
Two 15-ounce cans chickpeas (4 cups), rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons sweet paprika
1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika (pimenton)
½ teaspoon salt
Zest and juice of half a lemon
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Use a dish towel or a salad spinner to make sure the chickpeas are as dry as possible. Lay them flat on a non-stick baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes, then shake to redistribute, and cook for 10 minutes more. Combine the remaining ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Add the roasted chickpeas and toss until well coated. Return the chickpeas to the baking sheet and roast in the oven for 5 more minutes, until very fragrant. Serve warm or at room temperature as a table snack, or use them to top Spanish rice!
I had crispy chickpeas on a salad yesterday and they were delicious. Now I have a recipe to make them. Thanks ladies!
this sounds brilliant! I love chickpeas, never thought of them crispy before, and I love the spices added too! this looks so yum.
GREAT BLOG btw, i’m also a college student, and a fan of real food instead of junk food, that’s budget-friendly and yummy at the same time (:
I’ve been loving crispy chick peas lately! I’m a big fan of garam masala, or a little cinnamon, cumin and cayenne. Never used both sweet and smoked paprika, will have to try that next. Thanks Phoebe!

Love these! I have made them as above they were fine… But I swapped out the smokey paprika for same amount of Chipote Chile Pepper… nice and spicy! Uses a bit less if you can’t handle the heat : )
Loved it! This recipe was so easy too! Some of the others I looked at did nothave measurements for the spices
