Directions
1Preheat the oven to 400°.
2Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and spread the chickpeas over the top. Place more paper towels over the chickpeas and gently rub the chickpeas to thoroughly dry them. Discard any loose skins and transfer the chickpeas to a bowl and toss with the oil.
3Discard the paper towels and line the baking sheet with aluminum foil. Pour the chickpeas onto the baking sheet and roast, shaking the pan every 10 minutes, until the chickpeas are browned and crunchy, 33 to 35 minutes.
