Preparation Steps

1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2

Prepare the Chickpeas

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

3

Season the Chickpeas

In a mixing bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil, Tajín seasoning, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Make sure the chickpeas are evenly coated.

4

Bake the Chickpeas

Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until crispy, shaking the pan halfway through for even cooking.

5

Cool and Serve

Remove the chickpeas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy Bag-a-Chicks as a snack or appetizer!
