Honey roasted chickpeas are a delicious, healthy snack that's easy to make and packed with flavor. This recipe combines the natural sweetness of honey with the savory and spicy notes from cumin, paprika, and garlic powder, creating a perfect balance. Whether you're looking for a nutritious snack to munch on throughout the day or a unique addition to your party snack table, these honey roasted chickpeas are sure to impress.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the middle to allow even roasting.
Drain and rinse your chickpeas thoroughly under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Removing as much moisture as possible is crucial for getting them crispy.
Place the dried chickpeas in a large mixing bowl. Add the vegetable oil, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and a dash of black pepper. Toss well to ensure the chickpeas are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the chickpeas from sticking. Spread the seasoned chickpeas on the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not too crowded. This allows them to roast evenly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes. Stir the chickpeas halfway through the roasting time to promote even cooking. They should turn golden brown and become crispy.
While the chickpeas are roasting, place the honey in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave it for about 10-15 seconds until it becomes slightly runny.
Once the chickpeas are done roasting, remove them from the oven. Drizzle the warmed honey over the hot chickpeas and gently toss to coat them evenly. Be careful; the chickpeas will be hot.
After tossing with honey, return the chickpeas to the oven for an additional 5 minutes. This step helps the honey to set and become slightly caramelized. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the chickpeas to cool completely. As they cool, they will become even crunchier.
Serve your honey roasted chickpeas as a snack, salad topping, or side dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips:
- Make sure to thoroughly dry the chickpeas before roasting to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Feel free to adjust the spices according to your taste preferences; more paprika for extra heat or more honey for sweetness.
- For an added crunch, roast the chickpeas a bit longer, but keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
- Store the roasted chickpeas in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness.
