Prep Time:
1 hour
Cook Time:
30 minutes
Servings:
2 to 4 servings
Ingredients
  • One 15½-ounce can of chickpeas
  • ¾ tablespoon olive or avocado oil
  • 2 teaspoons za'atar spice blend
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • Salt
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Dry them extremely well with a tea towel. If you have time, let them air dry for 30 to 60 minutes. This will ensure a crisper texture.
  3. Place the chickpeas on a roasting pan in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crisp, rotating the pan at the halfway mark.
  4. Transfer the hot chickpeas to a bowl. Add the oil, spices, and salt to taste, and mix well with a spoon. Serve hot or at room temperature for a crunchy and healthy snack, or throw a fistful into kiddo's or your own lunchbox. (They also make great croutons over salad!)
