Ingredients
  

Roasted chickpeas

  • 2 cans chickpeas (15 oz each) drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Smoky BBQ

  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt

Chili Lime

  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp fresh lime zest
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt

Cinnamon Sugar

  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the chickpeas, then roll them between two clean towels to dry. Discard loose skins and let them air-dry for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the chickpeas with 2 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp salt.
  • Spread in a single layer on a bare 18x13-inch baking sheet. Roast 35 to 40 minutes, shaking every 15 minutes, until deep golden and they rattle.
  • Meanwhile, mix each flavor blend in its own bowl. Add the 1/2 tsp olive oil to the cinnamon sugar bowl.
  • Divide the hot chickpeas among the 3 bowls and toss each for 30 seconds until coated.
  • Return them to the pan in separate sections. Turn the oven off and cool them inside with the door propped open 2 inches for 15 minutes.

Notes

Store loosely covered at room temperature for up to 4 days, never in an airtight container. Re-crisp at 350°F (175°C) for 5 to 7 minutes if they soften.
