Spread the dried chickpeas evenly on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Roast the unseasoned chickpeas in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, shaking the tray halfway through the roasting time to ensure even crisping.

While the chickpeas are roasting, prepare the seasonings. For the Spicy Smoky blend: In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of chilli powder, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt. Mix well. For the Herby Garlic blend: In another small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt. Mix well.

Once the chickpeas are golden and nearly crisp from the first bake, remove them from the oven. Split the chickpeas into two separate bowls. Drizzle each bowl of chickpeas with approximately half of the 30ml total olive oil. Sprinkle the Spicy Smoky blend over the chickpeas in one bowl, and the Herby Garlic blend over the chickpeas in the second bowl. Toss the chickpeas in each bowl well to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning. Return the seasoned chickpeas to the oven on the baking tray for another 5 to 7 minutes to lock in the flavor and enhance their crispness.

Remove the chickpeas from the oven and let them cool slightly. They will crisp up even more as they cool. Enjoy the crispy chickpeas as a snack, sprinkle them over salads for added texture, or use them as a crunchy topping for soups.
