In this concise cooking demonstration, the host prepares a high‑protein vegan snack by roasting canned chickpeas until crunchy and spicy. After draining and thoroughly drying about 800 g of chickpeas with paper towels, the beans are tossed in a bowl with roughly 1.5 Tbsp of a blend of garlic‑infused and extra‑virgin olive oil, a tablespoon of chili powder, salt, and pepper. The seasoned chickpeas are spread on a baking tray lined with parchment and baked in a fan‑forced oven at 200 °C. Although the original recipe suggested 30 minutes, the host monitors the texture, extending the bake to nearly an hour until the chickpeas become crisp. A pro tip is shared: warm the serving bowl in the oven briefly before transferring the hot chickpeas, which helps maintain warmth. After baking, a final sprinkle of seasoning is added, and a quick crunch test confirms the snack is flavorful and perfectly crispy.
