Ingredients

Chickpeas, tinned and drained240 g
Drained weight. A 400 g tin drains to about 240 g.
Olive oil2 tsp (8 g)
Smoked paprika1 tsp (2 g)
Ground cuminHalf a tsp
SaltHalf a tsp

Method

Heat the oven to 200°C. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then dry them on kitchen paper, rubbing gently. Loose skins come off; discard them.
Toss with the oil and salt only, and spread in one layer on a tray.
Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, shaking the tray twice, until they are golden and rattle when the tray moves.
Tip into a bowl and toss with the paprika and cumin while hot.

Worth knowing

Makes two portions, half a tin each. The spice goes on after roasting because paprika burns and turns bitter at 200°C.
They lose their crunch within a few hours in a tub. Eat them the same day, or put them back in the oven for five minutes.
