Ingredients
- 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and dried very thoroughly
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spread the rinsed chickpeas on a clean towel or paper towels and pat and air-dry them thoroughly for about 20 minutes; the drier they are, the crisper they roast. Rub off any loose skins.
- Tip the chickpeas onto a large rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with the canola oil and sprinkle with the sea salt, and toss to coat. Spread them out in a single layer.
- Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, shaking the pan every 10 to 15 minutes, until the chickpeas are golden, dry, and crisp. Test one: it should crunch when cooled for a minute.
- While they are still hot, tip half the chickpeas into a bowl and toss with the Creole seasoning.
- Toss the other half with the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated.
- Let both batches cool completely on the pan; they crisp further as they cool. Serve as a snack.
