Main Ingredients

  • 1 can can of chickpeas (15 ounces), drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (white or brown) Depending on your preference
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then dry them thoroughly using a kitchen towel.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, olive oil, sugar, cinnamon, and salt, ensuring all chickpeas are coated evenly.

Cooking

  • Spread the chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, shaking the baking sheet halfway through to ensure even browning.
  • Once golden and crisp, let them cool for a few minutes before enjoying.

Notes

For extra crunch, let the chickpeas cool completely before storing. You can spice things up with a pinch of nutmeg or cayenne pepper for added flavor. Other spices like paprika or garlic powder can create a savory variation.
