Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for roasting the chickpeas and nuts.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, almonds, and cashews.
Pour in the olive oil and honey, and stir well to ensure the nuts and chickpeas are evenly coated.
Add the spice mix, salt, paprika, curry powder, and chili powder to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the nuts and chickpeas are well coated with the spices.
Spread the seasoned chickpeas and nuts evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chickpeas and nuts are golden and crispy. Stir once halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the mix cool completely. The mix will continue to crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, enjoy your spicy chickpea and nut mix as a snack! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips:
