Wash and soak the dry chickpea in sufficient water for atleast 6 hours. I soaked it overnight.
Drain the water from the chickpea and transfer the chickpea to a paper napkin. Use another paper napkin or kitchen cloth and pat the chickpea completely dry.
Preheat oven to 400 F. Transfer the chickpea to a baking sheet. Add the oil, salt, cumin powder, black pepper and use your fingers to toss the chickpeas until all the ingredients are completely covered over the chickpeas.
Bake for 15 mins. Then pull the sheet out of the oven, toss the chickpeas once and bake for a further 10 - 15 mins until the chickpeas are nicely roasted and crispy. Let the chickpeas come to room temperature.
Enjoy a crispy crunchy chickpea.
