Savory Sweetness: Irresistible Roasted Chickpea Recipe

Exploring New Flavors: Sweet and Spicy Roasted Chickpeas

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a unique and healthy snack recipe that’s perfect for satisfying your sweet and spicy cravings. As the weather starts to cool down, I find myself reaching for heartier snacks, and these roasted chickpeas hit the spot every time. The combination of sweet and spicy flavors in this dish will surely surprise your taste buds!

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed) – 400g
• honey – 30g
• olive oil – 15g
• chili powder – 5g
• cinnamon – 3g
• sea salt – 3g

To make this delicious snack, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• baking sheet
• mixing bowl
• spatula
• oven

Start by preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas, honey, olive oil, chili powder, cinnamon, and sea salt. Toss everything together until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the mixture.

Spread the seasoned chickpeas onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chickpeas are crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.

Once the chickpeas are done roasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. The sweet and spicy aroma filling your kitchen will make it hard to resist diving in right away! These roasted chickpeas are best enjoyed warm, so dig in and savor the crunchy texture and flavorful combination of honey, chili, and cinnamon.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 450g, with about 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 113g, and you can expect roughly 200 calories per serving.

A clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a bit of extra sea salt over the roasted chickpeas as soon as they come out of the oven. The salt will stick to the warm chickpeas, enhancing the overall flavor profile.

I hope you give these sweet and spicy roasted chickpeas a try and let your taste buds dance with joy! Feel free to customize the seasonings to suit your preferences and make this snack your own. Enjoy!
