- In a bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, and sea salt until well-coated.
- Spread the chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Cooking

Notes
To achieve extra crispiness, ensure chickpeas are thoroughly dried before seasoning. Letting them air dry for an extra 30 minutes can also help. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-5 days, and reheat for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
