Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Cooked chickpeas (canned or freshly cooked)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly if using canned chickpeas. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving crisp chickpeas.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, olive oil, and salt. Toss to coat the chickpeas evenly.
Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even roasting.
While the chickpeas are roasting, mix the honey and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
After 30 minutes, remove the chickpeas from the oven and carefully transfer them back to the mixing bowl. Drizzle the honey-cinnamon mixture over the hot chickpeas and toss until evenly coated.
Return the glazed chickpeas to the baking sheet and roast for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden and caramelized. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the chickpeas to cool completely. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the honey-baked chickpeas to an airtight container and enjoy as a snack or topping for salads and bowls.
