Cuisine: Moroccan
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 15 ounces (1 can) chickpeas or 1 1/2 cups homemade chickpeas
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon ground smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Here's how to make it: 

1. Drain the chickpeas if using canned. Leave a little moisture on them so that the spices stick to the chickpeas. If your chickpeas are homemade without the brine that's found in the can or on the dry side, you could toss them in a teaspoon of avocado oil (vegetable broth or water for oil-free) before adding the spices.
2. Mix all of the spice ingredients together in a medium bowl until they are blended. Add the chickpeas to the bowl and toss with the spices until the chickpeas are evenly coated. (Adjust the spices to suit your tastes.) Spread the chickpeas on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. 
3. Bake in a preheated 400-degree F oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until crispy, stirring halfway through. Cool. Store the chickpeas in an airtight container.
