Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Chickpeas: After draining and rinsing the chickpeas, place them on a clean kitchen towel. Pat them dry gently to remove excess moisture. This will help them get crispier in the oven.

      Mix the Seasoning: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Sriracha sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, black pepper, and honey or maple syrup (if using). This will create a spicy, flavorful marinade for the chickpeas.

        Coat the Chickpeas: Add the dried chickpeas to the bowl with the marinade. Stir until all the chickpeas are evenly coated with the mixture.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are not crowded to allow for even roasting.

            Roast the Chickpeas: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them towards the end to avoid burning; they should be golden brown and crunchy.

              Cool and Serve: Once roasted, remove the chickpeas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. They will become even crunchier as they cool. Serve them as a snack, salad topping, or party appetizer!
