Ingredients

  • 1 15-oz can chickpeas 425 g can
  • 1 Tbsp neutral oil 15 mL
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Roast: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Drain and pat dry 1 15-oz can chickpeas with a paper towel. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 1 Tbsp neutral oil. Toss to coat, then bake for 20 minutes, or until a bit crispy.
    A baking sheet with evenly spread roasted chickpeas on parchment paper, placed on a blue patterned tablecloth.
  • Flavor: While chickpeas are still hot, transfer them to a bowl and toss with 1 Tbsp sugar, 2 tsp cinnamon, and ¼ tsp salt.
    A glass bowl filled with seasoned chickpeas and a wooden spoon, placed on a patterned blue and white cloth.
  • 2nd Bake (optional): To help seasonings adhere to the chickpeas, I like to return them to the pan and cook for another 10 minutes. Let cook slightly before enjoying!

Notes

Storage: Let cool completely, then store in an open bowl for max crispiness (closed containers can trap moisture and soften them).
