-
2-3 tablespoons of Betty’s Best Sweet & Smoky BBQ Rub
Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Chickpeas: Drain and rinse the can of chickpeas thoroughly under cold water. Pat the chickpeas dry with a paper towel. The drier they are, the crispier they will get.
Season the Chickpeas: In a mixing bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil until they are evenly coated.Add the BBQ seasoning to the chickpeas and mix well to ensure all chickpeas are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Bake the Chickpeas: Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring or shaking the pan halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking. The chickpeas should be golden brown and crispy.
Cool and Serve: Remove the chickpeas from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Enjoy them as a snack, or use them as a topping for salads or soups.
