Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cup cooked chickpeas, drained and dried from one 15-oz can
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2.5 tbsp honey warm if thick
- 1.25 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract optional
- 0.13 tsp fine salt a pinch, to taste
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment.
- Rinse, drain, and pat the chickpeas very dry. Discard any loose skins.
- Toss chickpeas with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread in a single layer on the pan.
- Roast 25–30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway, until golden and crisp.
- Stir honey, cinnamon, and vanilla in a large bowl. Warm 10–15 seconds if needed to loosen.
- Toss hot chickpeas in the honey mixture until evenly coated.
- Return coated chickpeas to the pan and bake 5–7 minutes to set the glaze.
- Cool completely on the pan. They crisp further as they cool.
Notes
Swap honey with maple syrup for a vegan twist, or add a pinch of cayenne for sweet heat. Let them cool fully, then store airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days; re-crisp on a sheet pan at 300°F for 5 minutes if needed.
