Ingredients
– 1 (15-ounce) can of chickpeas Provides the base for crunch and nutrition
– 2 teaspoons of oil Helps with roasting and crispiness
– 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon Adds warm, spicy flavor
– 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar Enhances sweetness during roasting
– 1 tablespoon of honey Coats for a sticky, caramelized finish
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC) to get that perfect roasting temperature. Begin by draining and rinsing the 1 (15-ounce) can of chickpeas under cold water to remove any starch, then dry them thoroughly on a paper towel. For extra crunch, you can peel off the skins at this stage, though it’s optional and takes just a bit more time.
2-Next, in a bowl, whisk together the 2 teaspoons of oil, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar until well mixed. Add the dried chickpeas to the bowl and coat them evenly with this mixture, making sure every piece is covered. Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet to allow for even cooking.
3-Bake them for 35 to 40 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to help them crisp up uniformly. Once they’re out of the oven, transfer the chickpeas to a bowl and coat them with the 1 tablespoon of honey. Spread them back on the baking sheet to let them dry before storing in an airtight container at room temperature.
