Directions
1. To Make the roasted chickpeas: Preheat your oven at 390°F (200°C).
2. Pat dry the chickpeas with a kitchen towel until they are completely dry.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and transfer the chickpeas on it. Roast for 15 minutes.
4. Take chickpeas from the oven and put them into a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil on the chickpeas and mix them around with a spoon so that they are all evenly coated. Sprinkle salt, chili, parsley, and cumin and mix well. Make sure they are all evenly coated with spices.
5. Place back in the oven and roast for another 15 minutes until golden, dry, and crispy. Adjust salt and serve the roasted chickpeas warm, or cold.
