Ingredients
  • 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoons olive or avocado oil
  • 2-3 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • sprinkle of sea salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F and place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven while it preheats. I've *Pre-heating the baking sheet ensures the chickpeas crisp as soon as they hit the hot pan.
  2. Drain and rinse the can of chickpeas, then pat very dry with paper towels. I mean, PAT, PAT, PAT. Any moisture will cause the chickpeas to steam instead of crisp.
  3. When they’re dry, toss the chickpeas with the oil and seasonings. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven, place the chickpeas on in an even layer, and return to the oven.
  4. Roast, shaking the pan halfway through, until crispy, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  5. Note: feel free to play with the seasonings.
