Ingredients

1. Canned chickpeas (1 can, drained)
2. Honey (3 tablespoons)
3. Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
4. Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
5. Salt (½ teaspoon)
6. Black pepper (¼ teaspoon)
7. Paprika (½ teaspoon)

Instructions

1. Prep (2 min): Drain and thoroughly dry chickpeas with a paper towel—this is crucial for crispiness.

2. Season (2 min): Toss chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

3. Roast (20 min): Spread on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden and crispy.

4. Glaze (2 min): Remove from oven, drizzle with honey, and toss quickly while still hot so it coats evenly.

5. Cool (5 min): Spread on parchment paper to cool and crisp up further.
