Preheat oven to 180C
In a mixing bowl, place the thoroughly drained chickpeas, with olive oil, sea salt and black pepper and mix well
Spread seasoned chickpeas onto a baking sheet, and roast for 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove chickpeas from the oven and toss with spices and stir to coat evenly
