Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Garbanzo Beans, soaked overnight
  • 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Sugar Crystals
  • 1 teaspoon Ceylon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon Celtic Sea Salt
  • Pinch of Cayenne

*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.

Directions

  1. Drain and rinse soaked chickpeas. In a large pot, cover with fresh water and boil for 45-60 minutes until very tender. Drain well.
  2. Preheat oven to 400F. Spread cooked chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel and rub gently to remove excess moisture and loose skins.
  3. In a bowl, toss dried chickpeas with avocado oil until evenly coated.
  4. In a small bowl, mix coconut sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and cayenne. Sprinkle over chickpeas and toss well.
  5. Spread seasoned chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-30 minutes, shaking pan every 10 minutes, until golden and crunchy.
  6. Cool completely before storing. They will continue to crisp as they cool.

Notes

  • For savory version, use Garlic Powder, Paprika, and Cumin instead of sweet spices.
  • Make sure chickpeas are completely dry before roasting for maximum crispness.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
  • Try Curry Powder for an Indian-spiced variation.
