Step 1:
Prepare the products for cooking chickpeas. Keep in mind that 450 grams is a large portion, I cooked half, a whole baking sheet came out. Choose spices and seasonings according to your taste. I used sweet paprika and Italian herbs. You can take a different composition each time and get different tastes as a result.
Step 2:
Fill the chickpeas with cold water and leave to swell for 12 hours. Take good quality water, filtered or bottled, the taste of the dish will depend on its taste. Look at the amount of water on the dishes, it should be higher than the peas by a couple of centimeters.
Step 3:
After 12 hours, chickpeas will absorb all the water. If there is not much left, then drain it. I have all the water absorbed. Fill the chickpeas with clean water again.
Step 4:
Put the chickpeas to cook on low heat for half an hour. When the water boils, there will be a lot of foam, remove it with a slotted spoon.
Step 5:
Put the boiled chickpeas in a colander and leave for 10 minutes to drain all the liquid.
Step 6:
Transfer the chickpeas to a large bowl. Add salt and spices. Pour in the vegetable oil.
Step 7:
Mix the chickpeas well so that the spices and oil are evenly distributed over it.
Step 8:
Take a baking sheet, cover it with baking paper. Put the chickpeas on it, level it with a spoon so that it is distributed in one layer.
Step 9:
Bake chickpeas in the oven at a temperature of 200 ° C, if there is, it is better in the "Convection" mode. If there is no such function, then in normal mode. The baking time is from 15 to 30 minutes, look at the condition of the chickpeas. He should become ruddy. On convection, it will take less time. When the chickpeas are ready, turn off the heating, but do not take out the chickpeas, but leave it to cool in the oven. Do not open the door, then the chickpeas will turn out crispy and appetizing.

Very tasty chickpeas, like nuts, spicy and crispy.

If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !
