Preparation

Step 1

Rinse and drain the chickpeas. On a rimmed baking sheet put a paper towel down and lay the chickpeas out in a single layer. Lay another paper towel over the chickpeas and let them sit for 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium mixing bowl mix together chickpeas, olive oil and salt.

After 20 minutes roll your hands over the paper towel to loosen any casings. Pick through the chickpeas and discard any loose casings.

Spread back on a rimmed baking sheet (without the paper towel) and roast for 35-40 minutes tossing occasionally, until crispy and golden.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle the spice of your choice over the chickpeas (for example 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika or 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon). If using honey put the chickpeas back in a mixing bowl and stir the honey in.

Serve warm or put in a tupperware dish. These are best the first day.
