Ingredients

1 16-oz. can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 to 2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 pinches ground cumin
2 pinches ground nutmeg
1 pinch cinnamon
2 pinches kosher salt

Preparation

• Line a sheet pan with 3 layers of paper towels. Spread the drained chickpeas on the paper towels and let sit for at least 3 hours and up to overnight.

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

• Transfer the dried chickpeas to a medium-size bowl. Add just enough olive oil to coat and toss. Add the rest of the ingredients and toss to coat evenly. Taste, and add more spices if desired.

• Discard the paper towels and line the sheet pan with foil. Spray with nonstick cooking spray, then spread the chickpeas on the pan in a single, even layer.

• Bake until the chickpeas are golden and super crispy, about 30 to 40 minutes, tossing halfway through.

• Let cool completely before serving.
