- 1 can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or other neutral oil
Spice mixture #1
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon cardamom
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Spice mixture #2
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon powdered ginger
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
Preheat the oven to 300°F.
Drain the can of chickpeas, rinse with cold water, and let them drain while making your spice mixture.
1 can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
Combine the drained chickpeas and oil in a small bowl. Stir to coat.
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or other neutral oil
Add the spices you are using to the bowl and stir again.
Bake the spiced chickpeas on a baking sheet for about 1 hour or to desired crispness.
The canned chickpeas should be drained and dried completely. You can dry them with a paper towel if you are in a rush.
If you want softer roasted chickpeas, you can bake them at a higher temperature for a shorter period of time, say 30 minutes in a 400 degree oven.
Store your roasted chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature. If the spiced chickpeas soften, you can toast them briefly again in the oven to re-crisp.
