Ingredients

  • 1 19 oz can of chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil divided
  • 1.5 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 400°F.
  • Spread chickpeas out on a paper towel (or clean dish towel)-lined cutting board. Gently rub with another towel until mostly dried. Allow to sit for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Toss chickpeas in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Spread chickpeas out on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Give the pan a shake, and return to the oven for another 15 minutes.
  • At this point, mix together the brown sugar, chili powder, ground cumin, pepper, and salt in a large bowl with the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil. Toss the roasted chickpeas in the mixture.
  • Return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, until chickpeas are roasted through and crispy.

Notes

The chickpeas are crispiest on the first day, but will keep for a day or two in a sealed container.
