Crispy Indian Spiced Chickpeas
Ingredients
  • 2 cups canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Instructions
1
Heat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (or 200 degrees Celsius, if you prefer). Cover a baking sheet with a layer of aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2
Combine chickpeas, lemon juice, olive oil, brown sugar, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, garam masala, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Spread the chickpea mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet.
3
Bake in the preheated oven until the chickpeas have turned a deep brown color, become crunchy on the outside, and significantly shrink in size, approximately 25 to 30 minutes, stirring every other minute during the cooking time. Allow the chickpeas to cool down to room temperature before serving.
