After you pre-heat the oven, drain and rinse the chickpeas. Once they’re rinsed, put the chickpeas on a paper towel. The paper towels will soak up some of the extra water and leave you with dried chickpeas for roasting.
Before roasting the chickpeas toss them with vegetable oil or olive oil, and sea salt. Be sure to toss and mix the chickpeas for a while to make sure they get completely coated in seasoning. Coat the chickpeas in oil to ensure they bake to the right crispiness.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out the dried chickpeas in a single layer to roast them. Then bake for 40 minutes. You’ll know the Roasted Chickpeas are baked when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Seasoning Mix

After you bake the Roasted Chickpeas, all that’s left is to add the seasoning. This is the seasoning mix that goes into the chickpea flour for this Falafel Crusted Chicken recipe.
