Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.

Rinse the chickpeas under cool running water. Drain well, then spread them onto a clean kitchen towel. Pat them dry thoroughly. Remove any loose skins if desired for better texture.

Transfer the dried chickpeas to a mixing bowl. Add olive oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss well until all chickpeas are evenly coated with oil and seasoning.

Spread the chickpeas onto the prepared baking tray in a single, even layer. Make sure they are not crowded to allow proper roasting.

Place the tray in the oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. About halfway through cooking, shake the tray or stir the chickpeas to ensure even browning.

Remove from the oven once golden and crispy. Let them cool on the tray for a few minutes to allow them to firm up and become crunchier.

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm or at room temperature.
