Ingredients
Units
- 1 x 15 oz can chickpeas, no salt added
- 2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (more or less, to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Then, lay them out across a few sheets of paper towels. Gently roll them in the paper towels to soak up any excess moisture, then let them sit for about 10 minutes to dry out. This is super important for getting them nice and crispy in the oven!
- In a small mixing bowl, add olive oil, maple syrup, and your spices. Whisk together until the mixture is combined.
- Add the chickpeas to the mixture and toss until they are thoroughly coated.
- Spread the seasoned chickpeas evenly onto a baking sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the chickpeas are crispy and golden brown.
