Ingredients
Scale
- 3 15 oz cans organic low sodium garbanzo beans (1 can per flavor)
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- Sweet: 1 tbsp maple syrup, ½ tsp cinnamon
- Ranch: 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, ½ tsp dried dill, ½ tsp dried parsley, ½ tsp salt
- Spicy: ½ tsp chili powder, ½ tsp ground cumin, ½ tsp paprika, ½ tsp cayenne pepper, ¼ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Using a strainer, drain and rinse the chickpeas underwater.
- Lay on a kitchen towel and pat dry, discarding any of the skins that may fall off. Let the chickpeas air dry until completely dry.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. If using parchment paper, lightly spray the sheet with cooking oil (like avocado oil).
- Spread the chickpeas out evenly over the baking sheet.
- Cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes until golden brown.
- While the chickpeas are roasting, make the spice mixes by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl and setting aside.
- While still hot, separate the chickpeas evenly into 3 bowls.
- To the bowls for the ranch and spicy flavors, add in ½-1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat the chickpeas.
- Then add in the spice mixture to their respective bowls and toss again to coat.
- For the sweet chickpeas, pour the maple syrup and cinnamon mixture over the chickpeas and toss to coat, then bake for another 5-10 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Ensure chickpeas are completely dry before roasting for maximum crispiness.
- Adjust spice levels according to personal preference.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
