Ingredients:

28 oz chickpeas
790g
2 tbsp vegetable oil
27g
2 tsp ground cumin
6g
2 tsp paprika
4.20g
1 tsp garlic powder
3.10g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 tbsp honey
20g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the middle to allow even roasting.
2. Prepare the Chickpeas:
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.
3. Coat with Oil and Spices:
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.
4. Spread on Baking Sheet:
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.
5. Roast the Chickpeas:
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.
6. Add the Honey Coating:
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.
7. Honey Glaze:
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.
8. Final Toss and Cool:
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.
9. Cool and Serve:
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the chickpeas to cool completely. As they cool, they will become even crunchier.
10. Enjoy:
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.
