Savory Roasted Chickpeas

Recipe type: Appetizer
Ingredients
  • 2 15 oz cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed, drained and dried.
  • 4 tsps olive oil
  • 1 ½ tsps cinnamon
  • 3 tsps brown sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place dried chickpeas in a single layer on pan. (Note: Thoroughly dried chickpeas result in crispier crunchier end product, while less dry yields a crunchy exterior and a chewier center. Depending on preference either pat dry with paper towel or spread out and allow drying on paper towel for 45-60 minutes before roasting).
  3. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Give the pan a good shake approximately every 5 or 6 minutes to make certain the chickpeas roast evenly on all sides and to help prevent spontaneous popping.
  4. Test them for preferred texture at end of bake time. Continue baking if they are not crunchy enough for you or remove from oven and transfer to a bowl.
  5. In the bowl add the remaining ingredients and toss to coat each thoroughly.
  6. Enjoy hot or bring to room temperature and store in an air-tight container.
Notes
* For a savory variety try garlic, rosemary or thyme. * For an even sweeter version coat with honey or maple syrup!
