Ingredients

1, 15-ounce can low-sodium chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 Tablespoon avocado or canola oil
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 Tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Prepare baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Place drained and rinsed chickpeas on a cloth or paper towel and pat dry. If time allows, let the chickpeas air dry for a few minutes and up to 1 hour. Remove loose peels. Don’t get too picky - just remove the ones that are obviously disconnected.
Place on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat, then spread evenly across the pan. Roast for 40 minutes or until chickpeas are crisp and golden brown.
While chickpeas are roasting, combine honey and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Once chickpeas are golden brown, remove from oven and turn it off. Add cinnamon honey to pan, and using a spatula, toss to coat. Return pan to the oven (still turned off), close the door, and leave the chickpeas inside for ~20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Enjoy!

Notes

Because some ovens run hotter than others, it’s important to keep an eye on the chickpeas near the end of the first cook time so that they don’t burn! Look for a deep golden color.
