Pizza Roasted Chickpeas

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Spread the drained and rinsed chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel and pat them dry.

In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Add the dried chickpeas to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.

Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden and crispy.

If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the chickpeas during the last 5 minutes of roasting.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Enjoy as a snack or a crunchy topping for salads or soups.
