Ingredients
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
Instructions
1. Drain and rinse chickpeas thoroughly, then pat dry with a clean towel. Remove any loose skins for extra crispiness.
2. Let the chickpeas air dry for a few minutes while preheating your oven to 400°F.
3. Spread chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through.
4. While still warm, toss the roasted chickpeas in a bowl with olive oil, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to coat evenly.
5. Spread them back on the baking sheet and allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container once cooled.
Notes
Chickpeas must be fully dry before roasting to ensure crispiness.
Taste and adjust cinnamon or sugar to your preference.
Roasted chickpeas will crisp further as they cool, so don’t judge texture too soon.
