Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup, if desired.
In a medium bowl, toss the chickpeas with the olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, and salt and pepper, to taste. Spread out the chickpeas on the baking sheet in a single layer.
1-15 ounce can chickpeas*, 1 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, ½ lemon, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, salt and pepper
Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast the chickpeas for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through.
Remove from the oven, garnish with lemon zest, and enjoy.
Notes
*If you have extra time, rub the chickpeas with a kitchen towel to remove the outer skins. This is strictly optional, but some people prefer the smoother texture that results in removing the skins.If you are roasting vegetables alongside the chickpeas, toss them with a little olive oil and salt and pepper (or your desired seasonings). Spread out the chickpeas on one side of the sheet pan and the vegetables on the other side, in single layers. Broccolini, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, carrots, and butternut squash are all great choices.Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
