Ingredients
- One 15.5-ounce can low-sodium chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the chickpeas dry between two paper towels then place on the baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil then roast the chickpeas in the middle of the oven, tossing every 15 minutes, until deeply golden, dry and crunchy, 40 to 45 minutes.
- While the chickpeas roast, prepare the spice mixture: combine the cumin, brown sugar, cayenne, cinnamon, garlic, ginger, paprika and salt in a medium bowl. Mix until the color is uniform. As soon as the chickpeas come out of the oven, toss with the spice blend. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Easy. Healthy app. Always a hit!
I have made these a few times and love to keep them around to snack on. They are full of flavor and so much more rewarding that opening up a can of nuts or bag of chips to snack on.
Easy to make AND healthy!
Amazing! Very easy! These are perfect as a snack, but I added them to a Bobby Flat recipe for a Savory Yogurt Bowl with chickpeas. A delight!
Perfect crunch perfect spice!!!
Serves 6? Lol. I think more like One and make your own if you want some. Yummy! Really, six people will not get very many of these delish snacks.
These make a crunchy, delicious and healthy snack. Great alternative to bar nuts or popcorn, and the flavorful spice blend is a fun surprise for guests. Will make these again for sure.
