Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Corn tortilla chips
• 1 avocado, diced
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or vegan)
• 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños
• Fresh cilantro for garnish
• Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
3. Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Roast for 25-30 minutes, until the chickpeas are crispy and golden, stirring halfway through.
5. While the chickpeas are roasting, prepare your nacho base by arranging the corn tortilla chips on a large serving platter.
6. Once the chickpeas are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle them over the tortilla chips.
7. Top the nachos with diced avocado, tomatoes, shredded cheese, and jalapeños.
8. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.

Notes

Tip: Feel free to replace chickpeas with black beans or add other vegetables like corn or bell peppers for added texture.

For extra crunch, roast the chickpeas until they are dark golden brown. Be mindful not to overcrowd the baking sheet for even roasting. You can customize the toppings to your taste; try adding jalapeños for heat or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick!

These nachos are best served immediately but can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days. Reheat the chickpeas in the oven to restore their crunch before serving.
