Ingredients
- 3 15 oz cans organic low sodium garbanzo beans (1 can per flavor)
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
Sweet:
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Ranch:
- 1 tsp garlic powder

- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Using a strainer drain and rinse the chickpeas underwater.
- Lay on a kitchen towel and patch dry, discarding any of the skins that may fall off. Let the chickpeas air dry until completely dry.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. If using parchment paper lightly spray the sheet with cooking oil (like avocado oil).
- Spread the chickpeas out evenly over the baking sheet.
- Cook for 20-30 minutes stirring every 10 minutes until golden brown.
- While the chickpeas are roasting make the spice mixes by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl and setting aside.
- While still hot, separate the chickpeas evenly into 3 bowls.
- To the bowls for the ranch and spicy flavors add in ½-1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat the chickpeas.
- Then add in the spice mixture to their respective bowls and toss again to coat.
- For the sweet chickpeas pour the maple syrup and cinnamon mixture over the chickpeas and toss to coat and bake for another 5-10 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
You can store the crispy roasted chickpeas in an airtight container but note that the texture will become chewier and less crispy as the chickpeas sit.
